Nadia's great-great grandparents had 15 children, 9 of whom lived into adulthood. Each year on Thanksgiving, this extended family gets together to celebrate. It's been a part of our tradition as long as I've been alive and I'm sure even before. Gran had figured up that there are about 120 members in this family with about 110 of them still living. There was a very important person missing this year as it was our first Thanksgiving without Gran, but Uncle Dicky had put together a video of her speaking from the past three Thanksgivings reminding us all that we are a unique family to get together and care about one another in such an extended family way. She challenged the group to continue getting together as long as there are at least two members. As the newest member of the family, Nadia was introduced to all and held by many. Aunt Jeannie - these pics are especially for you as we missed you much and want you to see the pics.
