This was Beckett's first Thanksgiving, which means his first Cisco Center Thanksgiving experience. We had (only) 78 people there this year, which is down from the traditional 100+. The Williams family refers to my Grandma's sisters and brothers. (The siblings were Martha, Maggie, Ivan, Gertrude (my grandma) and Edith.) All of their children, which is my mom's generation and her first cousins, plus their children (my generation) and our children (Beckett's generation) attend. It is part family reunion, part Thanksgiving, and it is the only time every year we can count on seeing everyone.
That's Beckett with Aunt Edie...and yes, we are in a gym. We usually hold hands in a circle, count for a total, and then Great Uncle Dave always says a prayer. We all join in at the end and say the Lord's Prayer.
