Thanksgiving 2014

The Israel Family had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!  It is certainly one that we will remember.  The past two years we have spent Thanksgiving with my family, since we usually do Christmas Eve/Christmas morning with Adam's family.  This year was our year to do Thanksgiving with the Israel family - and it was extra special because it was Mama Lou's 90th birthday!  All four of her children, all 8 of her grandchildren, and 15 out of 16 great grandchildren were there (plus some spouses).  Adam and I have spent 11 Thanksgiving's together and this was the first time that all 8 of his cousins were in the same place at the same time.  One of them missed our wedding, one missed Christmas one year, etc. but this time EVERYONE got to be there.  It was so special!
