Thanksgiving 2025

Our family spent Thanksgiving 2025 in Redding, three hours north of where we live, at Steve's aunt and uncle's house. There were 17 of us there, including cousins we hadn't seen in 11 years. The only family members that weren't there were our nephews and their wives and kids. One nephew is in the Air Force, stationed in Germany. The other is in the Marine Corps, stationed in North Carolina. 

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. It was wonderful catching up with everyone. The food was fantastic and the tables were beautifully set.

This layout came together quickly and easily once I chose my photos: the group picture, a candid from dinner, and my plate of food. I didn't leave myself a lot of room for journaling, so I kept it simple with a list of who was there.

Christmas 2016

Another long-overdue layout into the album!

Until my parents moved out of state in 2018, our tradition was to spend Christmas Eve and morning with my family, then Christmas day with Steve's family. I combined photos from both events on a single layout with the photos roughly in chronological order (left to right, top to bottom). I managed to include at least one photo of twenty of the twenty-one people (sorry Uncle Bill). Other than that omission, I'm happy with how the layout turned out.
