Ready for Thanksgiving. A big family gathering - 48 of us thisyear, although Wes and Sharon went to Carbo San Lucas for Thanksgiving. We had it downstairs in our Above Rubies
packaging room which we use for all our big family gatherings.

Everyone getting into the food!
We love to give toasts at family gatherings--to family members and friends, absent and present.
Here Evangeline and I are giving a toast to the Queen!
We then all sang "God save the Queen."
We must have been pining our heritage!
My sister, Kate and I racing.
It was such a lovely warm day that we all went outside after Thanksgiving Dinner. Stephen organized running races for thechildren on our front lawn.
The men decide to have a race--around the road and back up the driveway-- Rocklyn, Sam, Howard and Stephen.
Sam (Serene's husband) comes flying in to take first place!
It's a day of action. Now the push up competition starts. Serene did 29 pushups--but she can now do more!
Stephen (on the right) did 49 pushups!
Even Princess Pearl is getting fit. I think she did 10! Watching from left are Rocklyn in the white shirt, Zadok (who is now taller than Howard and Evangeline), Rashida in the green, Colin, Gabrielle, Oliver and Josephine (JoJo), Stephen and Meadow. Promise (Kate's little daughter) is trying at pushups too!
