Our Family Traditions

Thanksgiving is always a family tradition filled with lots of food and fun. I have 13 brothers and sisters so there is about 50 some people attending for the holidays and we all "Potluck" the menu which makes it so easy. The hostess [This year it was at my New home] does the turkey/Ham, Stuffing, Potatoes and Gravy while the rest of the family members pitch in with the rest fo the food.

There's always plenty to eat and do. Usually there is a football game played between cousins and some a card game or dice for nickles and dimes going on in the evening. There's always a few brothers and sisters catching up on the latest news and usually an announcement of some sort either who's having a new baby or when the next wedding will be.
