Thanksgiving and Wintery Mix Weather

Thanksgiving week has come and gone, and we survived it all. We had a busy week just getting ready for the big day.

On Thanksgiving Day, we had 17 people in for dinner. We had our children, grandchildren, sister, niece and family, nephew and part of his family, and our friends, Warren and Jeannene. We had a great time with all the family and friends. Everyone had a good time visiting and of course, a wonderful time eating all the good food.

My goal for this year was to get an immediate family picture. You might think this is easy to do but with everyone's schedules it is not as easy as you think. But I knew that everyone was coming here at the same time for Thanksgiving so we decided that would be a great time to get one. Jack was excited to get to try out his new camera and use his remote control clicker and it worked great. Here is the outcome:

With the two little ones, we weren't sure how it would work out but overall it worked pretty good. Bronson had just woke up from a nap and wasn't in a very good mood.

Here is another family picture of Craig's family.

Chad's two little ones were not up to anymore pictures so we didn't get theirs done at this time. That is the way it goes sometimes.



On Sunday morning we woke up to a wintery mix of moisture. We had some on Saturday but then Saturday night, we had much more but not near as much as Chicago. Here is what it looked like in our front yard.

It is definitely getting closer to the time to head South. The wind chill was not good today. We looked at Lake Placid's temperature and it was 64 degrees and it was 28 here. Florida here we come -- right after Christmas!!
