David and Rhoda Berbey's residence at Marin County was once again the setting of our clan's ?Thanksgiving Dinner last November 22, 2012.  The usual suspects included the Joaquin family which were all present to the delight of everyone especially Dad Tony and Mom Chita who headed the group.  This time Cristina (who works in Hongkong at Cathay Pacific Airways) came with her hubby Jowin while Lizza flew in from Spokane, Washington, where she has her home.  The other clan members at the celebration were members of the Mendoza sister's offspring (and there are 10 sisters + one brother). Oh, no not all were at the party.  In attendance were children of Baby, Marilou, Chita, and Marilyn and Patty. But only Chita, Marilou, and Lita were present at the party. The rest are either in Manila or were at work.

Above is a glimpse of the Joaquin group only.  All five children, Bobby, Cristina, Jay, Gina and lizza were all there  hobnobbing with their cousins and aunts (some of whom had not seen one another for years).

Also in picture are GI (Bobby's wife), Mikee, (24) their eldest; Nico, (23) their youngest.  Jay and Jenny alsoi came with their only son Julian (9 years old).
