Thanksgiving is a special holiday for us ever since we were featured in Newsday 18 years ago!

In 1993, our daughter, Mae, was born at dinner time Thanksgiving Day, and two years later our son, Luke, came into the world on Thanksgiving. We had our new family picture featured on page 3 of Newsday.

Now, 18 years later, Luke is a senior in high school and our daughter is in college, and we will be having a sit-down dinner for 35 people. Included will be an aunt, who also was born on Thanksgiving many years ago. We will slice three cakes for our turkey babies, who celebrate their birthdays on Nov. 23, 24 and 25.
