Thanksgiving 2011


Dad carving the bird

We had 50 something guests over for a Thanksgiving Feast.  This year 10 of my siblings and their families were here.  We were missing Floyd and Gloria and their 8. Each year the kids get bigger and take up more space.  A huge group of big boys, little boys, big girls, little girls and babies. Then add in friends and you have quite the happy mess.

A living room scene.  Brother Tim and baby Brandt. Mutti sits in the same place every year.  I think we can safely say that is his spot.
