Thanksgiving was once again celebrated at my Grandma’s house in Illinois.

I have a HUGE family on my mom’s side, so usually about 1/2 or so end up at Grandma’s. (making at least 30 people!)

We had a lot of fun… and enjoyed a lot of  yummy food!

Family.   Thanksgiving.   Good times.   Laughter.   A hot kitchen.   Traditions.   Food.

I wouldn’t have it any other way!
