Christmas 2014

Gina made a beautiful memorial for some of the people that have gone on to heaven!

Mishael and Miriam

Christmas was held at John and Gina's new house this year.  They have a big family type room upstairs where we did the presents.

 Christmas always starts with making Ravioli a week or 2 before Christmas.  This time there wasn't very many people available to make them.  Martha, Moriah and Hans were the main workers!  They were very, very good!

Thanksgiving 2014

There was somewhere around 30 for Thanksgiving this year.  

Joe brought extra computers and games so all teens sat around and played their game together on computers.

The clean kitchen before everyone came!  

Brianna and Cody in this picture.

I took a picture of the shoes, because when everyone comes up there  is always a giant pile of shoes by the front door.
