Enough silliness... here are the real pictures from a nice family Thanksgiving at Jannie and Johns on Thursday. We had my mom's family, Em's family and my Uncle Andy's family join us too. It was a fun day with lots of food, lots of kids and lots of laughs. Thanks Jannie and Grampa for a great Thanksgiving celebration! We all have a lot to be thankful for.
