Family Christmas Dinner
It was a cold morning for a buggy ride. I expect there was Amish church in the neighborhood. However, we only saw a few buggies this morning. Most must have taken another road today.
Following church, we went to a reception center in the area for a family dinner. This was Cerwin’s aunts and uncles and their families on his dad’s side of the family.
Our grandchildren played in one of the rooms while waiting for lunch.
There were about 105 people in attendance. The seats on this table are empty, because our family was getting dessert.

There were four generations in attendance: Cerwin’s aunts and uncles, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Following lunch, our family enjoyed seeing Jakey and Crystal’s wedding album.

This was the wedding where our daughter Deb and I took the pictures on a very rainy day in early September. Click here to see part one of the wedding, then choose “previous” to see more wedding pictures.
