We all love our family, even if sometimes they can make things a little… awkward.
Maybe you have an Aunt who drinks a bit too much spiked cider? A cousin who can't leave his politics at the door? Maybe half your table is teenagers more interested in their phones than any REAL conversation. Thanksgiving's a wonderful time to get together and think of what we're grateful for, but sometimes family can make that a bit difficult.
This year, instead of letting those 1 or 2 relatives get you down, just let them make you laugh. We've compiled some of favorite awkward Thanksgiving photos of families that will hopefully help you see the lighter side of things… Remember, maybe you don't have it as rough as you think you.
Special thanks to our friends at Awkward Family Photos for the following pictures that always make us laugh.
Please SHARE with any family members or friends who might get a kick out of this…
1. They haven't even started dinner and she is already OVER IT.
2. And Thanksgiving has already got these two going after each other.
3. You can really feel the love in this one. (Notice the empty wine bottles in the back!)
4. Her face says it all.
5. When you get stressed out this Thanksgiving, just be grateful that you're aren't in costume.
6. Or spending it alone.
7. Bridging the generational gap can be difficult.
8. And sometimes the kids are cute...
9. ... and sometimes they act like this.
10. Or this.
11. This daughter just couldn't stand it anymore. (Look to the left.)
12. Do they know someone's taking their picture or are they actually upset it's Thanksgiving?
13. Something about this one just seems... uncomfortable.
14. These children will never forgive the person who dressed them up.
15. Just be grateful you're with YOUR awkward family and not someone else's...
16. Because it could be worse!
Do these remind you of your family? Just wait…there's more!!
