Thanksgiving was a Success!



Thanksgiving was a huge success. We had dinner at my mom's house. My uncle and aunt and cousins were there. It was a good time had by all. The turkey was delicious, the fixings were tasty, and everyone left full and weighing a few more pounds than they weighed when they showed up. We hope that everyone in the extended Normand family had a good time. Enjoy time with your family, you never have enough of it. We love you all, have a happy holiday season!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!




Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Thank you all for joining and having the desire to keep in touch. Jocelyn Normand, who is now Jocelyn Duffort, is nicknamed Living in Luxemburg. David Mastrine is obviously David. Jim is Jim Mastrine. The Normand Clan is Andrew Normand III and family. Andy Normand Jr. has been invited and we are awaiting his entrance. Also, Rose Marshall, Dolly to many, has also been invited. Thanks for the pictures Jocelyn. I hope everyone else can get some pictures up here, who cares what the pictures are, just as long as we all can see what everyone looks like. This will be great!
We love you all, hope you have a great Thanksgiving, and hope all is well wherever you are!
Thank you again,
With Love, Andy Leon and family.



Thought I'd try to add pictures. The first is from our vacation in August. We spent a week in Brittany and the picture was taken at the Mont St. Michel. It was a nice picture of all the kids and Patrice too. The second picture is an attempt at getting all of the grandkids together in one photo. A difficult task. Plus it was late in the evening near the end of our visit to the pumpkin patch so the kids were a little less than attentive.
Hope you are all enjoying your turkey on this Thanksgiving day. I'm not sure what we'll end up doing this weekend to celebrate. But we have yams so I'll make those whether I can get my hands on a turkey or not! Enjoy all that good food.

I think Normand News might be cute too.


This is us, the Normands. We celebrated Ninha's 28th birthday party on November 19th, even though her real birthday is on March 19th. I I invited 25 people to a nice Brazilian restaurant, and imagine my surprise when over 35 people arrived to celebrate the occasion! The best part of the night was the specialty cake that I had ordered. It was a cake of an arial view of Rio de Janeiro, with actual pictures of the city pasted onto white chocolate standing up in a diarama style layout. It was amazing! Fun was had by all, the food was delicious, and the BILL was HUGE!
Anyway, please use this site to post news and happenings about your part of the Normand family. We hope this site can bring the family closer together one post at a time. Le me know what I can do to help this site be the best possible for our family. Keep the pictures coming, we love to see what everyone is doing. Thank you for your time, and we appreciate your participation.
With love,
The Normands in Southern California!
