Nolt Family Gathering

I'm still catching up on a few posts.  My dad's side of the family gathered at my grandmother's house on New Year's Day for our holiday dinner.  Once again, we sat all of the great-grandchildren on the steps with my grandmother....and once again, we had an uphill battle to try to get 13 children look at the camera without screaming at the same time.  Nearly impossible.  This is the best one I got...



Another tradition is to pack health kits to send to Africa.  Grandma sews the bags, and we provide the stuff that goes inside.  It really is a nice alternative to giving gifts (that really aren't needed) to each other. 





Adeline and Emma had a jolly old time together...
