My Sibling’s Christmas Celebration

…continued

 Saturday, January 16

 

 

Left to right: Deb, Kristen, Velma (our stepmother), Dot (standing – back to camera), Anne, Chris (sitting – back to camera) Nancy, and Katie, visiting in Dale and Dot’s kitchen.

The big, old farmhouse has lots of places to visit, as two families live here, meaning there was room for all sixty-five people who were there.

 

 

Dani and Kevin, Kevin and Becca, Rob, and Clair visiting in the dining area of Dale and Dot’s family room.

 

 

 Jere (left) joined the group in the kitchen.

 

 

 Jesse came up the steps with me to take a picture of Steve and Brenda’s kitchen.

 

 

 Brenda, Kevin, Mary, her friend, Jessie, Dani, David, Laura, Andi, Kate, Vince, Kurt.

 

 

 

 

 

 Watching a football game in Dale and Dot’s family room: Marlin (couch), Clair (behind couch), Jordan, Cerwin. Nate, and Roy (backs to camera).

 

 

Jared in disguise.  

 

 

 

 

 Dale and Jacob (grandfather/grandson) conversation.

  

 

 

 

I am sitting on the floor (for lack of extra chairs in that area) with Caleb – Laura (my niece) and Dave’s son – to watch a video my brother Dale was showing of his and Dot’s recent trip to Italy (Rome and Venice). 

 

 

 

Like all celebrations, there is always a time to say goodbye – and I thought Caleb looked so cute all bundled up for their trip home.
