Doyle II and I travelled with the "Little Massingas" Ben & Madeline, to our Long Beach Bed and Breakfast to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday with the Reed-Claverie-Massinga clan. I'll have to admit, I was in need of a break and did lots of resting as my mom, aunt Ruth, sister Courtney and the Little Massingas entertained DJ. Cousins Donavan and Doyle got along swell - I really appreciate Dono's enthusiasm about little DJ. We celebrated Benjamin's 9th birthday with a beautiful sports cake, and a dinner menu of his choosing (hamburgers and hot dogs) - the photo below shows Grandma Ruth, Maddie and Ben right before we sang "Happy Birthday" and cut the cake. Uncle Raj found himself the center of attention (no surprise there) as he read a fun book to Dona and the rest of the young ones. DJ enjoyed some one-on-one lovin' from his Granny, Grand-Nannan Ruth and Auntie Courtney. With Ervin in Cote d'Ivoire, the responsibility of the family photo fell to me - luckily I had him teach me how to operate the timer on my camera before he left. I'll spare you the shots of me "getting into position" and let you enjoy one of the shots where I actually got in the photo AND the timer was set correctly (above) as well as one with me behind the camera (below).
