    I totally enjoyed this video. Never thought that there was another big family who would set up the tables in the garage. That’s so much fun. I am the 5th of 6 children. I keep up with my siblings, nieces and nephews on a WhatsApp chat since we are in different states and countries. But, every Monday night at 8 the siblings meet on the chat to catch-up and pray. We have been doing this for the past 11 years when our mother passed. Dad passed away two years before. We think mom passed because of a broken heart. There is nothing like a loving family. Blessings to you and yours.

    I’m from a small family but married into a family like yours of 10 siblings. Home was always filled with things to do, get togethers and special occasions. Sadly my husband passed and things will never be the same again but I love the support of all my in-laws. Blessed

    What a great family. And Linda, hubs is very handsome, wish we could see him more. Our immediate family consists of seven,with a new marriage coming soon. We all live in the same city, so we are in touch with each other, almost every day. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!💕👍🏻

    This was fantastic! Thank you for introducing your family to us, and it was an added bonus to get to see your hubs (so handsome!). I am the oldest of three siblings, with two brothers. We keep in touch through text and Facebook, and we still get together with mom three times each year on holidays. My father died when I was in college (cancer). My hubs and I have two children, one of my brother has three (and two bonus children), and my youngest brother has two, so even the cousins are somewhat limited in number, but we have fun when we are all together. I think a big family would be fun, and yours is beautiful!

    I’m 1 of 14, yes 14! 😂 And I have to count my siblings and their order on my fingers too. The funny thing is I never felt like I was in a big family, until someone mentioned it when we were out and about, otherwise it just felt normal. There was always something going on, it was fun!

    First what a great family you have. I can't imagine a sibling text that large. We have one of me, my father and brother and some days I have to put my phone on do not disturb because of too much txting. Especially when the subjects get carried away and really should be a phone call.

    My sibling clan is half the size of yours, 5 of us but we too are dispersed all over. We keep in touch via group text even with our spouses. We also keep our spouses, now that I think about it, about as long as we keep our homes, lol! 🏡👰‍♂️. Important things to keep I guess.. if you can.

    I am not from a large family. We were composed of 5 siblings and my parents. My extended family are very small too. We use to meet when both of our parents , grandparents, uncles, aunts, however, after the passing of the patriarchies family reunion is no longer done. I only have two sisters and a brother whose lives abroad, my older sister refuses to meet us after our mom’s passed. The second sister, has mental issues, and it’s difficult for her to deal with large meetings.( events). I only have two great children and a 15 year olds grandson. It’s a small family however, I instilled in them to meet, and we gathered. Our reunions tend to be loving, filled with emotions. But most importantly is that we’re a closed nest family. We live in a rented apartment in buildings in a large city. We celebrate holidays, birthdays, and special events in my modest home and with filled it with the Lord’s loves. I’m grateful to you for sharing a glimpse of some of your large family side. Enjoy the camaraderie’s family.!

    Oh my, this brought me to tears. I miss my parents and older brother so much. There are no more family gatherings. I am always invited by my sons' dad and his 3rd wife to Thanksgiving. Your family is so precious. Tell your hubs that he looked sharp in this video. I sure wish that he would be on 1 of your home videos where he could tell us his favorite part of your new home.

We also rotate hosting an annual 'get together' every year since we are spread out geographically as well. With all of the spouses, kids, and grandkids we have a total of 25 (plus one on the way). Several of us also travel together several times a year.

    I loved this video! I grew up in NJ and went to school in Sioux Falls, SD. I spent a lot of time with my roommate and her family on their farm and in their community. I was considered a member of the family and was a guest at many family celebrations. Your family gathering brought back so many warm and fond memories for me .....from the delicious looking homemade food to the simple dining set up in the garage. Thank you to your family for allowing us to have a peek into your extended family life.

    Wow, what a beautiful home. It is like going back in time. The period furniture is perfect. Loved the parlour with the painted trim and fireplace... and the clock chimes , right on cue! I can only imagine the gorgeous sunsets out over those cornfields. The spice chest radio is such a family treasure. What a great, accomplished, beautiful family. My mother was 13 of 21 children, and my husband was 13th of 14 children. I had one son! haha .. But I do have 3 grandsons. So waiting for those boys to expand the family tree.

Everybody chips in to help, very casual. But your sisters' home! I love her style, love her antiques. So sorry for the loss of your Mom at such a young age, but how lucky for you to have a "2nd" Mom and more siblings! I love big families! And we got to meet "hubs" again.

    What a wonderful family! Reminds me of Thanksgiving growing up. My dad was one of nine and they all had kids. Some several. And they all converged at my grandfather’s house until we just couldn’t get it clean. 😆 Then everyone began coming to our house. Every year. At times close to 70 people. Did that until about 15 years ago. I am 67. We now meet at a church kitchen and dining area that one of my last two aunts attends. Not the same but I have the memories. Thanks for sharing.

    My mom comes from a family of 13. I am 75 now and have over 50 cousins , and uncountable second cousins etc. We have a private Facebook group that we can all post to and share photos, memories etc and it has really helped us all stay connected with each other. I made a "genealogy road trip" with my scanner a few years ago while my mom was still living, and now we have all the old family photo scanned and shareable with each other.

      Sometimes having siblings isn't that great.

      I'm an only child. There's not much left of my family. I did not have children. However, I married one of nine. It was a joy to see your siblings.

    That was so much fun to watch. So nice that you all make an effort to keep in touch. The family unity is definitely what is missing today. Kudos to you all.

    Thank your family for sharing their special day with all of us. I have one sister who lives close by. I was 28 when my only cousin was born. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have such a large immediate family.

    I am 3 of 4 kids but happy to come from a large extended family who host a family reunion annually. We had our 90th reunion this year in Augusta GA with 300 in attendance. We have a family Facebook page where we post family updates, losses, and celebrations. We also have a prayer phone line with weekly calls.

    Linda, I loved this video and seeing your family! Just wonderful family memory making. I am from a very small family. My parents and brother and my husband’s parents and sister are deceased. We have two married sons. We have one granddaughter in college working for her 4 year nursing degree. A RN in the making and she is pulling straight A’s making the President’s List at college. This grandma is pulling her grandma rights to brag a bit. Thanks Linda for sharing your family.. BTW your sister’s home is just gorgeous!

    What a beautiful family! Absolutely loved the amazing home and you sharing everything about it! Thank you for introducing us to your family! You all are fabulous and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing!!
    I come from a large family as well in Springfield, Missouri! My mom is one of 10, my dad is one of 5 and I am one of 5. All of my aunts and uncles as well as my siblings all live here where we were born. No one moved away so I have hundreds of cousins! With my siblings alone, I have 20 nieces and nephews and we have 6 children! We see each other and most cousins weekly if not daily! My husband’s grandparents opened a flower shop and greenhouse in 1949 in Springfield! My mom and several aunts and my cousins are most of the employees. We work together! Staying in touch with family is a must! We wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s so much fun!!
