Just back from a very full Thankgiving weekend, filled with family and fun! We started the weekend visiting with my side of the family. That's me with my two sisters (Tricia and Cordelia), flanked by two of my nieces.
And my brother, Pete, with his beautiful family.
My younger brother, Tom, and his new girlfriend.
Finally, me, my brother Tom, sister Tricia, brother Pete, brother Carlos (who hosted), and sister Cordelia. My brother Carlos lives in the house where we all grew up, and I'm sure my parents are smiling up in heaven, happy that we all still gather together to share the blessings of family.

We then had an interlude of this:
Surrounded by one of our soccer families:
Henry's Juventus team (he's front row, left) played in a soccer tournament in San Diego. That was the main reason we traveled south for the holiday. The team went a disappointing 1-2 and failed to advance, but they did win their last game (of the tournament and the Club season) 4-2, and Henry scored a goal. Plus, they had a ton of fun hanging out together and Henry enjoyed a tour of U.C. San Diego (where they played all their games). He's going to apply there next year - probably to the Thurgood Marshall or Eleanor Roosevelt colleges.

And then it was time to see Paul's side of the family, where we got to see his parents visiting with their newest great grandchild:
And, by the end, we were all dog tired (yes, Gypsy made the trip with us):
So, how was your weekend?

Looks like you had a great time.
It looks as if everyone else in your family has as radiant a smile as you do :)
