I do not have that many photos from Thanksgiving because I was too busy visiting with all of my family and enjoying the bountiful meals, but here's a few worth documenting. As usual we celebrated with my Mom's side of the family on Thanksgiving Eve and then with my Dad's side on Thanksgiving Day.
It often seems like an overstatement to say that there are always new babies on the Castonguay side of my family, but the truth is, there really is at least one new baby born in the family every year! The new baby this year is Bria, who is the daughter of my second cousin and granddaughter to my cousin. It's crazy that my cousin who is only a few years older than me is already a grandmother!

Unfortunately, no people pictures from Mawmaw's house the following day. All I captured was the food. We love the food but the family time is what I treasure the most. Even though most all of our family lives so close, it still seems that we do not get together very often.
Mawmaw makes so much food that I can only take the tiniest portions so as not to get uncomfortably full before we even get to the desserts. I also have given up eating some of the dishes that aren't on the top of my list. Why waste space in my stomach that could be filled with my favorites?! So...the plate below is probably missing at least another 5 foods that I didn't even try.
All of the ridiculously yummy desserts! It's a good thing that it's not optimal (for my stomach) to eat these because if I didn't have that restriction, it would be easy to overdo it!
