Trevino Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving hosted by Al and Dianne. I know they worked for days to get this all put together and it was a great success. All of Al's kids were there with the exception on Carmen, who was in London, and all of Dianne's kids were there as well (she only has two). It was nice to see them again. the last time we saw them was at the wedding. The tables were set beautifully and there were place cards for each of us, which made us mingle with Dianne's family so that was a great idea. I really enjoy her son Todd and his family, they are very nice. The food was a great buffet of Thanksgiving traditional, very yummy! After cleaning up, we played Bingo with some great prizes. Each family member could have a card to give you more chance to win. It was really fun and it made us all be in one room. Then we enjoyed some yummy pies and mingled some more. It was a great night. Al and Dianne are making a great effort in trying to blend their families and traditions. After Al and Dianne's we went over to Sarah and Dave's for some more games, we mostly talked and had some good laughs.

I am SO thankful for my family!

A memory from the past:

As I think back to how grateful I am for my family I am reminded of my cousin's wedding in 2006. The wedding was the best wedding I have ever attended, but the part that i will NEVER forget was during the wedding reception we were all dancing together and there was my mom and all her siblings and her mom. They hadn't seen each other since the death of my grandpa (their dad), I could see and feel the love they all had for each other. That reunion and all the fun they were having at that exact moment brought tears to our eyes. We can only imagine what the reunion will be like in the eternities.

Families are eternal and I so grateful for them, each one. The one I belong to, the one that is my very own, the one I have married into and the ones that will come. I LOVE THEM ALL!!!
