The weekend before Thanksgiving, my family and extended family gather for a pre-Thanksgiving dessert night. We used to have Thanksgiving dinner together, but with kids growing up and getting married and families growing, it became difficult to work out all the different schedules. So, my Mom decided to start hosting a Family Dessert Night the weekend before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has always been a big family holiday from the time my Mom was a kid, so it's nice to continue to get together with everyone. I still miss going to Bakersfield every year, but this is almost just as good.
The kids and I made Pilgrim hat cookies for one of our treats.
Eric and my siblings played several rounds of Nertz. We haven't played Nertz since Eric and I started dating. He taught it to my family 8 long years ago!
Tessa had everyone laughing as she showed off her "princess smile".
Adam loving some goodies!
The spread! We had some yummy stuff to enjoy!
Jason and Bryan
Chris and Dad
Angel, Sophia, Melissa and Devin
There were a lot more people there, but I didn't take very many pictures. It was fun to visit and laugh with everyone! Family makes the holidays wonderful!
