Thanksgiving
2016 was a little different than usual. It was son Tom and his family's time to
share Thanksgiving with wife Kim's Family in Arizona. Son John and his Family
shown arriving above came on Tuesday, so Grandma Marlene could spend time with
son's Nieto and Giovanni. Daughter Valerie came for lunch, with her younger twins
Katie and Abbie on Wednesday, and brought a delicious pie for dessert!! Daughter
Natalie came with daughter Sarina, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner and had
to leave early. Marlene invited her cousin Joel Marchese and his two girls Charlena
and Natalie to attend.
For
some reason, some of the children, especially the teenagers don't want me to take
their picture? Grand daughter Katie is hiding on the couch!! Valerie had to leave
after lunch and Abbie on the right is putting on sunglasses as they prepare to
go home!!
Our couch decorated again
this Thanksgiving by grandson Giovanni.
