Best. Day. Ever.

Five siblings, three significant others, two nieces, three nephews, two parents/grandparents, and two soon-to-be in-laws.  It was perfect.

It is rare that we get the entire family together in one place and time, but this Thanksgiving we sure came close!  94% turnout rate.  Unfortunately, the only person we were missing was my brother-in-law, the pilot, who had to work.  It was so much fun playing football, Monopoly, eating THE best food ever… We even went out to the movies.  I was on cloud 9 having everyone together.

We started the morning with a bit of football.

My sweet boyfriend and niece and nephew.

John and me; my sister and dad. :-)

Working with my brother’s light meter and Hasselblad.

My bro and nephew.

Isn’t my sister stunning?

She and her three kiddos.

LOVE this one.

A little wishin’ to win the Monopoly game.

We had like 50 people playing.  We had to make more fake money.

Favorite photo of the day!  I LOVE my brother’s oh-so common, cautionary expression.

My sweet brother and his family.

I love these guys so much.

I later found out he licked her. What is it with boys?

Yay!  The whole gang! Well, 94% of us. :-)

All my siblings! They all hate getting their photo taken… Thanks to John for the awesome pictures though!

It was the best day ever.  Family, if you’re reading this, I love you more than you’ll ever know.  Thank you for making the effort to be together.  This day was really one of my best days of 2010. Love you.
