Thanksgiving

Sometime last Spring Paul and I were chatting and decided that we wanted to open the invitation to my family to come and spend Thanksgiving with us in Kingman.  As summer came and fall approached the invitations were extended not knowing who would be able to make the trip.  To our delight they all came!! 

 

For about three days my house was a hustle and bustle of activity . . . more than normal.  All 14 of the Andruski cousins were present and accounted for and from all indications had a wonderful time with each other.

Due to the distance between homes these cousins don't get to see each other as often as we would all like, so it was a real treat to see them interact and build some memories together.

Thanksgiving  day was of course filled with lots of yummy food (and games for the kiddos too).  Thank you Grandma Sue, Kasey, Mike, and the various kiddos who made our meal possible.

When I realized that it had been at least 6 years since we were all together to celebrate a holiday I realized just how special our time together was, and understood the heart felt note I received the following week from the matriarch of our family, Grandma Sue.

"How can I thank you enough for the wonderful Thanksgiving.  You could not have given me a better present than to have all my children and grandchildren all together . . ."

Thanksgiving this year was truly a Thankful Moment!
