Thanksgiving with the Overbys

Even though we were in the middle of a huge snowstorm we decided to travel to Kenyon for a Thanksgiving day celebration with the Overbys.  Charlie was here from Alaska as well as his kids Jason, Alyssa and Rachel, who all live in Minneapolis now.   It was a lovely time together!  Selena and Xavier got to know their cousins a little better and they also played some music together.   After eating some good food --thanks, Rosie-- we played a game of Cranium.   Then we took a family photo together pretending that it was a 19th century photo shoot, "everybody be serious!"  We all look kind of awful and it doesn't represent the mood of the day at all.
"Don't smile!"

That picture cracks me up! Wish I had been there, too.

As a member of the Overby clan, yes, you should have been there! Your absence was definitely noticed, especially sitting on the piano bench for the feast. Becky, you and I have to do that again soon!

Hahaha! Oh, that piano bench! What memories it holds, the stories it could have told!
