Last night the relatives came from Mark's family. Lauren, Darrel, and Doug Alexander stayed at our house. This morning was quiet as most everyone slept in with the exception of Luke and I. Luke got in a good morning nap and we headed to the Anderlik house at noon. Melinda has the nicest and largest home, therefore we always have the family gathering in her home. The house was toasty warm with the wonderful smell of all the fixins. Turkey, mashed potatoes, Karen's homemade noodles, Melinda's homemade butter horn rolls, and lots of pumpkin pies. The feast began around 1:30. Everyone ate until there bellies were full. Mr. Luke the picky eater would only eat butter horn rolls and he had 3 for lunch and one for supper. The family was much smaller than normal as we were missing 5 families. The Weilbrenner triplets and families, Chris ALexander's family, and the Ferrari's who came in the evening. It was not the same without those who were missing, however it was a nice time with those who were there. At Thanksgiving I remeber to be thankful for my wonderful husband, my kids, our health, our families, friends, and the troops fighting for our country.
