Thanksgiving 2011

I know I am ridiculously late on posting! My work needs to upgrade their browser so I can't post from work anymore! lol I guess that means I have to take the time to do it from home now....which is why I am behind. Somehow there is just never enough time when I am home to do a blog, or facebook or anything else nowadays. Thanksgiving this year was a blast, for the most part. We went down to SoCal to visit my side of the family and also to go to Disneyland!

This year we actually had Thanksgiving at my Aunt's church building because there are just TOO MANY of us now to fit in her home. I thought it would be kind of weird to have it there, but in true Stokes fashion, they managed to transform the cultural hall into a Thanksgiving feast. My aunt carted in all of her fine china, silver and crystal for the event and made it extremely homey and welcoming. Since there are so many kids, we also had a tv set up with movies and room to play basketball for all the guys. Dinner was fantastic, as usual, and so was spending time with everyone. I am so grateful for my wonderful family and everyone making the effort to go down to celebrate together.

My two boys - Love them
Brooke and I - coordinating for family pictures that would come after dinner

My cousin Erin (doesn't it look like we should be sisters!?) and our boys :)

Erin's middle daughter. She is absolutely stunning.

I really wish that I would have taken more pictures, but I guess I was just way too busy having a great time!
