Thanksgiving was always a special time in my family. We would always get together with my mom's two sisters families for the day. This was easier when there were not quite as many of us as there are now. The last year we had Thanksgiving in my Grandma Georges basement was a funny series of events. We had tables lined in the basement buy once you sat down you couldn't get out. We all filed down the stairs into the basement of no return. Everyone took their seats, not necessarily by the person you would have liked to sit by but by the person who you were by in line. After that year we ate at a few different places before we started going to my parents church. Now we tend to eat dinner at my brother in law and sisters funeral home. It is a wonderful place with lots of room for all of us. Now however, we have turned to a new page in our book and are starting with new Thanksgiving traditions. This year we spent Thanksgiving with John's family. So a few Israelsen's got together early.
On Wednesday we went to dinner with Gene & Carol, Greg, Jill & Kaitlan. We went to Angie's in Logan. We had a great time eating and visiting with each other. It is always amazing that we can have such a great time on a spur the moment basis. I am sure that waitress there was glad to see us go. You know how we can be....LOUD!!!
Thursday morning the dogs got a special treat. They love it when the humans feel they need a treat. Then we went to Tim and Leslie's house to celebrate with the whole Garcia clan. We had another good day visiting with everyone. Dinner was fantastic. It is always a good time to get the whole family together and spend time with one another.
Here's to another great year. Until next time.
