THANKSGIVING/2008

PRAYING TOGETHER...

This is Marilyn...

Thanksgiving is over..Advent is here ... Christmas is on it's way!!!

It was my "turn" this year, but my house is too small for everyone.

We had our Rajewski Thanksgiving at Kim and Darren's house this year.

We had 48 people..we had 3 families missing. We called their house the "Dittenber Banquet Hall"!! It is always a fun time when we all get together. Kim, Darren and their kids did a lot of work getting ready for the day--decorating, cleaning, and moving furniture out and moving tables and chairs in, etc. Their house looked so nice --- some took a "vote" and thought we should have it here every year. But, I passed the "PLATTER" to Elaine and that means it is her "turn" next year. It is so fun to take turns and that means that one person does not have to do all the work every year. We all look forward to seeing each other and visiting and sharing the meal. Everyone is a good cook..

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!
