On New Year's Day we had the joy of getting together at our home with ALL of Ken's brothers and sisters. We see each other quite often during the course of the year.....but normally we are missing one or two.
Pat and Dave "Winter" in Florida...but we were so excited they could be here this new year! Tom and Deb live in Kalamazoo, Dick and Carol, Les and Jeanne are all close to Mesick...and you know where Ken and I live!!!.
Pictured to the left are all of us "Sister-in-laws".
We feel so blessed to not only be related....but to share a deep friendship...and the privilege of being "sister's in Christ". We all get along so well...and count it a joy to be able to call on each other with any prayer needs we may have.
This is the "whole" crew!!
The last time we were all together was for our niece Elizabeth's wedding in June 2009.
During our visit on January 1st, we watched some old movies of the family from the 1960's! It was fun reminiscing and especially seeing Keith and Wanda.
The "original" 25 cents.
Five Nichols.....get it???
We were joined during the day be Tom and Deb's daughter Emily and her two daughters, our son Joel, and our son Jason(Emily) and their four children.
As always, we had lots to eat, and treasured every moment we could spend together!
I praise God for the blessing of family!
I thank Him for the love and friendship our
extended family enjoys......and look forward to many more special times here on Earth.
Last time I counted, if we were ever all to be together with our kids and their families...there would be "54" of us!! But I am hopeful we can do that sometime in 2010!!
