Today was one of my most favorite days. I truly loved it. It is a Thanksgiving I hope I always remember.
There were 28 of us all together at my aunt & uncle's house. I loved watching how all nine of the great-grandkids, ranging in age from Catherine at 18 to Ava at age 4, hung out together and laughed together. Most of the grandkids and spouses (along with Andrew's parents) all sat at another table. I don't ever remember having as much fun and sharing as much as we did today. While I am older than all of my cousins (in fact, I called them my "baby" cousins growing up), we are all adults now and the age difference doesn't matter anymore. We all enjoyed watching our kids, and we laughed as we heard them arguing about the answer to a math problem.
We missed our sailor, and with the impending graduation of Catherine, and of course losing my aunt...with all of this, gathering together as a family seemed all that more important. I so enjoyed getting to spend the day with so much family.
