Thanksgiving 2015

 Thanksgiving 1015 found us at the new home of Patrick and Heather.  It is a beautiful house with a open floor plan and this great island counter that is perfect for entertaining.  They outdid themselves and had about 30 family members , from both sides, for dinner.  It was a potluck but was still tons of work and we thank them SOOO much for being the hosts.
The appetizer spread could of been dinner.
Mike deep fried two turkeys and they cooked a ham.
The kids really enjoyed themselves and the two babies had lots of willing arms to hold and snuggle.
 Seamus Finnley and Taj were at the "kids table"  but loved it.  Have to wait for them to get older to have them be unhappy with this arrangement.
 The unfinished basement proved the under 4 crowd  with a place to get rid of some extra energy. (it rained all day!!)  This is Finnley, Seamus, Taj and Luca.  Lots of hide and seek and racing going on!
 Deidre and her husband Stephen joined us from Chicago...nothing like smiling Nolans!
 So here are the kids...we were all singing the ABC song to get them to smile and look at us.  The funny part is the video Timothy took of us all singing to the kids.
 So now the blue  couch pictures...Timothy, Casey, Seamus and Ursula.
 Stephan, Deidre, Luca and Taj.  So nice to have them join us.
And our hosts..Patrick, Heather, Finnley and Frankie.
We hope that this post finds everyone in good health and getting ready for Christmas.  We are finally getting some snow but it may still be a green Christmas.  Love to all  Kathy and Michael
