A familial meal at Pentecost Day ( last June 8)
English version Below the pictures
Le 8 Juin dernier au Dimanche de Pentecôte nos six enfants et leur famille étaient là avec nous . Janine avait préparé un excellent et copieux repas . Qu'ils sont précieux ces moments où toute la famille depuis les grands parents jusqu' au petits-enfants est rassemblée . L ' ambiance était joyeuse. Sans compter les jumeaux nous étions 22 autour de la table. Après cette vue d ' ensemble quelques scènes du repas sont proposées.
Last June 8th, on Pentecost Sunday all of our 6 children and their family were at home with us . Janine had prepared a big and excellent meal . How precious are those moments when all the family members from the grand parents to the grand children are gathered . the ambiance was joyous. We were 22 in including the twins who are not on the picture above. Some shots of the meal:

Après le repas un peu de sport fait du bien mais vous pouvez choisir de faire un tour du potager ( au fond)
After the meal its time of sport but you can chose to tour the veggie garden on the backgroundThe twins are quiet and are able to play on their own ( Yris on the left, Raphaël on the right )
Les jumeaux sont calmes et savent jouer seulsBut they love also to walk with their cousin and sister.
Mais ils aiment aussi se promener avec leur cousine et soeur .And as always, at the end, a card game is organized while others are working to declutter the table and to clean dishes,plates and cutlery. with the reward to feel useful to all the family?
Et, comme toujours, à la fin, un jeu de cartes est organisé tandis que d 'autres s 'affairent à débarrasser la table et à laver plats, assiettes et couverts avec la récompense de se sentir utiles à toute la famille ?
Ces bonnes réunions de familles vous réchauffent le cœur.
Those good family reunions are heartwarming.

How wonderful that everyone from near and far were together!! The twins are walking! They have grown so rapidly. We always played card too after a big family meal...
I love a game of badminton at a family gathering.
Love the cute little coat on the dolly of the twins.
and you looking dapper as always.
I'm curious to know what card games they are playing.
Wishing you pleasant days,
Lynn
What a joy to have all your family together. Family time is precious.
Hi Michel,
You have a lovely family. I am so blessed viewing your post.
blessings,

Heartwarming indeed. The twins are getting so big! Looks like a fabulous day.
This post made me feel so happy, and brought smiles ear to ear. What a blessed time to spend with the entire family and have them help in cleaning, playing badminton and taking a walk! The twins are adorable. My, how they have grown!
You're right, family times are important and precious and fleeting. I want to grab them and hold them tight while I can! God bless you and your lovely family!
wow those are good photos and I like how you have dinner.
You have such a beautiful family. Wonderful how you all get together. Hope your well my friend. I don't get here much these days but I still think of you often. Take care

Wow! What a beautiful family!! Thanks for sharing your family with us.....Pictures speak volumes when they involve the complete family...
So wonderful to have such a large and loving family. We are now a very small family and I am the last of the older family.
What love and stories the young ones will have. They will remember these together times forever! Love to all {v} Nancy
What wonderful precious memories made, Michel!


You are blessed with a beautiful family!
The twins have grown so much!
Happy Birthday to Antoine!
How are you feeling?!
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
HUGS!!!
Thanks , Carolyn
What a precious family you are! I've outwitted the parasites on my computer, for awhile anyway. I'll have to call in a technical person before long and then I can resume posting and visiting around xangaland. Have a Great Fathers Day Michel! ILYM
Wow, I love your blue walls with white accents! So elegant! And badminton is a fun game!
Looks like you had a delightful and memorable day.
We painted the walls with this color blue in 1986 and never changed this color since then
I can't believe the twins are walking. My how time does fly.
There never were card games with our mom's parents around. Grandma was raised Baptist, they didn't play cards, but she turned Methodist marrying Grandpa, but still no card playing.
Wasn't any alcoholic beverages either.
I wish I could have been at that table with your family all around. Such love.
Those twins are adorable.
I know no one more blessed than you, or more deserving.
In friendship.
So enjoy pictures of your family and it always brings a smile to my heart. How rewarding to have all the family gathered to make memories for all. You and Janine are so blessed and I'm glad that I had found you on Xanga. Enjoy the coming of summer and the fun things with your loving family. love Marilyn Thysell
Dear Michel ~ I love the family picture of all 19 at the dinner table... and was glad to see you in another picture. The twins-- so quickly growing, walking, and playing on their own! They are so cute! What familial fellowship! I am praying for you to be feeling better. With love, Carolyn ♥ &
Michel you are truly blessed with your beautiful family.
TY so very much for your kind comments on the friday the 13th photos of my band hubby.
Thank you for sharing your family time with us. You are truly blessed with a beautiful family. I love the photos of the twins. They sure are growing fast.
Michel it is lovely to see you and your family enjoying themselves, but when I see all generations together I feel it is so good for the Soul. Thanks for making my day.
Que du BONHEUR! Bien mérité!
Bravos!
Et même un bout du tableau de Toronto
a beautiful family ~ and I love those blue walls!
Thank you for the kind comment. Here's to a wonderful Father's and Grandfather's Day to you. Do you have a day like that in France?
Hi Michel, It is the day in America today to celebrate father's. I don't know if you observe this day in France, but I came by to wish you a happy father's day. I know you have much to be happy about. Blessings to you, Lynn
Yes , Lynn, in France too and the children phoned or emailed kind messages yesterday ,father's day.
Thank you for the pictures! I love seeing them and "entering" your world for a moment.
If you have time would you email me a menu for this meal. I am wondering how Janine managed. She still has her apron on in the picture with the "duchess". How did Caroline become the "duchess"?
You have a beautiful family. It is heart warming to see them all together. I' sure it was a fabulous meal. . I wish we had our whole family closer together but am grateful for the ones who live close by.
What a great joy its to see photos of your family all together enjoying such a wonderful meal
TY so very much your kind comment on my iris photo
Ty so very much of your comments on my peony photos.
I envy you your family meals. One of my life ambitions is to get to share one at your house, although I speak no French.
