Christmas 2015

Christmas 2015 was the year for another Stricker family Christmas.  The above picture represents our entire immediate family.  The front row includes Kathy, Dad, Mom, Tom and Tim.  Kathy's family is pictured on the left, including Anya, Lilly, Dawson, Mia, Christian, Bobby, Alexandria, Hope and Paul.   The middle and left represents Tim's family, starting at top middle - Val and Alexis, Mathilda, Jonathan, Willa, Ben, Jakob, Sandi, Josh, Janel, Tim, Joe, Ameila, Cash, Penny, and Annie.  That is 30 of us altogether.  32 when the twins are included that Annie is carrying!

We celebrated Christmas together at the Trails West Lodge camp by the river in Scottsbluff.  What a beautiful facility and location. Each family had their own sleeping rooms and we enjoyed games and fellowship and food in the lodge, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas.  The kitchen was quickly filled with food as we all brought food and snacks and goodies to share! The pictures below reflect the good times we shared.

Chicken noodle soup and butterballs always a favorite!

Where there is food, there is fun and fellowship!
