Saturday Morning, December 23 – Featuring the meal

The pictures were taken without flash – thus the soft focus on most of them. Flash can be quite bothersome when a lot of pictures are being taken.

Laura and Amy in the foreground helping their children.

A hot dip and mac and cheese.

Crackers and dip

Biscuits, creamed dry beef and quiche.

He couldn’t close the lid so got a boost from his dad – Neil

Kevin with Clair (his dad)

Larry and Mother Hershey going through the food line while some in the background prepare waffles.

Notice Dot’s Christmas headdress (left). She was in a celebratory mood because she did not have to plan this meal – as in previous years. 🙂

The dessert bar

Enjoying brunch. There were about eighty people in the room – with about seventeen who were not able to attend.

I wish our parents could have been here to see how large their family has grown. Mother died in 1974 when there were only fourteen us (with two more on the way). Daddy died in 1997 when nobody under ten-and-a-half was here or those who joined the family through marriage since July of 1997.

I waited until last to go through the line – when Nathan decided to turn the camera on me.

This is about the time I noticed that he had my camera. 🙂

More tomorrow night
