Six of my siblings and extended families were blessed to gather in Missouri at a rented venue over Thanksgiving.
Here is a photo of the clan Sunday morning.
No sweeter sound! I took a picture through the window of the singers practicing!
Then we dropped some of our children at Fain's place a few miles away, where nephew David was doing some blacksmithing, before Jonathan and I went on to another house to stay overnights.
Nephew Nathaniel basting one of the three Thanksgiving turkeys!
And his wife Erika carving it!
A couple less-than-professional photos of the kind of difficult moments one encounters in a new old venue where the gas oven is much needed but is not turning on!
Certain girl cousins putting on their best faces!
Happy little girl sitting up high while her mommy slices pumpkin rolls.
Same happy girl playing a game with Hannah.
Girl cousins decorated a very plain basement so beautifully with simple things like gallons of homemade apple snitz and a folk harp.
Amaris's wheel chair becomes the engine to a very fun train, ridden by Rose and a little cousin!
Gotta have the coal car and the little blue caboose, too!
Elon and Anita's granddaughter Kari is eagerly looking forward to a new baby brother most any time now!
Nathaniel sets on the huge bowl of turkey gravy.
Huge bowls of cranberry salad and broccoli salad.
Not sure it's the right size table, but at least it's the right size chair!
More of the littlest littles there!
And of course, plenty of pies!
We do indeed count our many blessings!
