The entire family went to Plano to celebrate Thanksgiving with Geof's brother, Wade and his family. Here's Judy making a casserole with Dorothy (Geof's sister-in-law). Dave is looking on as Mom is cooking with instant rice and Cheese Whiz for the first time!

Anna Claire decided she didn't want her photo taken when Judy told her it was going to be on the famous "Price's Christmas CD".
A little fuzzy photo because everyone was moving about. Candice just got engaged to Brent Kelm. This is Brent's family - brother Darryl, mom June, and dad Rod.

We celebrated Grandma Florene's 80th birthday at Maggiano's Little Italy in Plano. Yummy menu and the food was great! (By the way, the party was Nov. 24; Grandma's real birthday is Nov.30.)

The room was beautifully decorated.

We had 40 of Florene's family all together for this celebration.
Florene's nephew, Tommy came with his family.

Despite being in the family for 20+ years, Judy has never met Tommy and his family!

Florene's cousin, Ed Black came with his wife, Helen.
Geof's sister-in-law, Patty, with her mom (Dorothy) and sister (Barbara). Geof's niece, Shana, is in the back.

Our three handsome boys.

Kim (Jud's daughter) came from California with her husband, Matt Riley.

Florene was especially pleased that Edward and Helen Black could join us.

Jon (Jud's son) and his fiancée, Tina.

Bradley came from Jacksonville.

Kim graciously shared her wedding album with newly engaged Candice, shown here with her future in-laws (Rod and June) and her fiancé, Brent.

Beverly and E. H. Eley, and Brenda and Brian Price also came. Brian and Beverly are Geof's cousins, children of Uncle Kenny and Aunt Peggy. E. H. has his back to us in this picture, and Brian is around toward his right.

Here's a better view of E.H, then to his right, Beverly, Brian, Brenda, and Ashley, Brian's daughter, from Houston. Shari, Aunt Betty's daughter is next to Ashley.

Florene sits proudly with her four sons: Geof, Wade, Florene, Judson, Bradley.

Mom received a number of wonderful gifts and cards.

Everyone was given a sheet of paper to write a remembrance for Florene. This is Samuel (Florene's youngest grandson) creating his page.

No one knew what this was. Only Samuel.

The older cousins laughed at Samuel's drawing of Florene as a baby. They said, "She looks like a worm!"

I don't think older brothers and cousins were helping. I think they were egging Samuel on in his creation.

 

This is a bridge. Because Grandma loves to play bridge. The squiggles on the bottom look like fire, but it's supposed to be water. Only in Samuel's head.

Shari is Florene's niece. Ashley is Florene's grand-niece. She is the daughter of Brenda and Brian. Brian is Florene's nephew.

Wade is chatting with E.H. Eley. He is married to Florene's niece, Beverly.
