2013 Early Thanksgiving in California

Thanksgiving (one week early) for our clan in California was on Friday, November 22.  The Ingrams were the host home this year.  We had a wonderful family time and family feast as always.

Jay is growing a beard for "Mow"vember day - something to do with the Town of Moraga, where he is Director of Recreation.

The Toole Clan
Ellie, Mark, Carly, Sam and Aidan

The Breckenridge Clan
Shannon, Grace, Paul and Claire

Seven of our Twelve Grands
