Conway Family Thanksgiving

What a rowdy crowd we Conway's are, there were approximately 30 or more of us crowded into one house for our blessed Thanksgiving Day. First I want to thank our gracious host and hostess my brother in law Joe and his lovely wife Peg for not only having us over for Thanksgiving but housing us for the whole week of the family reunion. There are so many people staying here it is like a motel. Find a place to sleep.

Everyone pitched in and brought their specialty of food and we had so much food we could have fed an army. My favorites were the ranch mashed potatoes and the ham. Yummy but what is Thanksgiving without a delicious turkey and it was great! The white meat was so tender and moist.

It was great to see the older cousins and siblings bonding in the younger generation after we had eaten. They were all gathered around the kitchen island spending time together.

Unfortunately all of our younger kids are all grown to high school age now and we were missing out on four of mine and Darrell's kids so the one we brought has been stuck playing video games or hanging out with girls. Alex really loves his mine craft anyways. lol We have one little one in the family and his name is DJ. He runs around and gets into what he wants to and tires his dad Dre out. His thing over at Aunt Pegs is the piano. What a kick in the pants that is. I have been trying to bond with him, he is so worn out of all the people I get a little hi 5 here and there. I am hoping by the end of the weekend we will be good buddies hugging and have pet names for one another but we'll see, that may just be too much to ask out of this trip.

The best thing about all of this is all of the fellowship, getting to sit and talk with everyone. We don't get together as often as we like and it is nice to see everyones smiling faces.
