We got the all in the family photos from my niece Debbee yesterday. I kind of like the whacky one myself.
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007 to 2015 hostage and has replaced them all with ugly black and grey boxes asking for a ransom to have them re-published. Such a frustrating bother as I go through each post to delete the ugly boxes.

Ellen, These are great pictures! Of course, since they include my wonderful daughter and son in law I might be prejudiced! Ha! Looks like it was a wonderful gathering. Especially to spend time with the grandparents, so important. Great!
Wonderful. I always pick out the FUN pictures to sit around my home. I love to see people relaxed and the joy that comes out with laughter. But the other one is amazing for the number of people you have in the shot. What a blessing–
What precious-ness! I love seeing pictures of your extended family!
We did a wacky picture this year too! What a great one for the memory book.
What a fun looking group! We have always done one silly picture AFTER the normal one.
Wow Ellen….what great photos – everyone looks like they are having a great time!
What a lovely family and so good that you could be all together. Now that is a great blessing!
Tomorrow is V day! 🙂
well, no one’s flying the bird, so that’s good.
true story:
my fam is about as big as yours there I’d guess without counting. we always take 2 shots like you at Thanksgiving get togethers…..
One year Uncle Jack had started drinking a bit too long BEFORE the pic was taken….he (and my Dad right along with) decided that for the wacky photo they would both fly the bird.
That year something happened in the taking of the “serious” shot…and there was a blemish on the negative across the back row of faces…………………………………….
The “wacky” pic is the only one we have from that year.
Let that be a lesson!
Fun pics. The whacky ones are always the ones that are most memorable! LOL.
what a fun family picture!
Great pictures! Wacky ones can be fun to do. Thanks for sharing.
What fun!
Great family photos! I like the wacky one best too.
Enjoy the sunshine! And lack of (floods, closed mountain passes, gray days). Wishing I were enjoying yellow roses, warm beaches, and sunshine!!!!!
