Every year, Henry and I spend Thanksgiving day with his family. My mother works in a hospital setting and has always had a hard time finding coverage for her normal double-shift Thursday. So it’s the in-laws on Thursday and my family on Friday.
This year we were all at the meal!! This is the first time in at least 6 years we’ve all been together on Thanksgiving. We had two new additions to the Marquiss family this year… Evan (at the head of the table) and Sarah were married in October. Lindsay (blue sweater on the left) and Ryan were married this summer. We officially had to eat at two tables, T’ed in the dining room of Sarah and Evan’s apartment.
This is Sarah and Jocelyn. Jocelyn wanted a chance to take a few pictures.
From her point of view, here is Pop (Henry’s dad, also named Henry. He’s Henry III.)
Her father, Bill. (married to Tiffany, Henry’s sister)
Uncle Clayton
And Ryan.
I snapped this cute picture of Henry and Sarah.
He in turn, snapped this picture of her and I. Ryan jumped in at the last minute.
While we were cleaning up from lunch, Ryan watched videos on my phone. Evan’s watching football.
So is this lovely group of people packing the other couch.
Uncle Evan spinning Ryan in the easy chair. Ryan kept saying “Faster.”
And little Rasta… who kept running too and fro trying to keep warm and out of the grasping arms of the children. He had the best seat in the house, if I do say so myself.
