Thankful for:
*Thanksgiving with my mother's family
*I brought meat pies to the gathering, I had a co-worker's mom make them, all I had to do is bake them, they were delish
*seeing my mom with all 6 of her sisters...I love all them so much...I have so many memories of each one of them
*riding the Polar Express with my little family and my sister and her little family
*that I have a large extended family, and I have wonderful memories of each one of them

My mom and her sisters (in age order): Elna, Linda, Shelia, Pat, Mary Jane, Kathy, and my Mom Joy
They are all so beautiful! They have one brother and he is the oldest (20 years separates my mom and her brother.)
 Typical for all of them to be together and laughing. It sounds like a hen house when they all get together! But we would not have it any other way!
