Family, Food, Fun

We had our family Thanksgiving feast at Del Rey Yacht Club yesterday. It was really nice. There's a big dining room at the Club....it was packed. We were in a separate, smaller dining room right near the buffet!!!

The Big Dining Room

The food was great! There were all the usual T-giving choices, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, yams, green beans, grilled vegies, filet of sole, lamb w/ mint jelly. There was a table of beautiful salads.

Our Small Dining Room

THEN, the dessert table was faboo...pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple crisp, fresh berries and more. Wow!
We had around 30 people in our little dining room. My Mom brought beautiful balloons for the tables. Aunt Mae hosted all of us for the evening. She always sets the tables with candies and nuts....just in case there isn't enough FOOD!!! Oy!

I always have fun hangin' with my cousins. It was a wonderful evening. I hope you had a great celebration too! Of course, when we were done with dinner, all of the kids pulled down the balloons and pierced them so they could inhale the helium and run around sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Yeah, that's what family is all about.

We Ate EVERYTHING!

Oh! It's vintage photo Friday! Well, you'll just have to refer to last week's VPF for our family Thanksgiving in 1956. We've add quite a few people to our family in the past 53 years!
