Happy New Year 2016...Finishing up the Beginning

Yes...it's a new year and a time to make New Year's resolutions. One of mine is to write in my blog consistently enough to create a family history. So with that in mind, I want to take you through the highlights of last year with posts and pictures.
   Last January found us saying good-byes to the last of the family members who came for Christmas. That was my  Christmas present...to have all my children and grandchildren here for a family picture. It was a wonderful time with 24 people here to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and to bring in the New Year with a bang. Not everyone got to stay the whole time but we had a crowd for quite some time and it was wonderful...and did I get some pictures....  :-)
The entire Stephen Lowell Ralph Family as of December 2015. 

 Susan came with her 3 children, Jarom David, Josiah Kevin and Kimball Elaine.
Jessica and Juan Salcedo with Hadlie Elena.
Jonathan and Jenna with their children Katelyn Jenna, Nathan Daniel and Gracie June.


Elizabeth and Austin Heath with their children, Isaac Jeffrey, Andrew Stephen, Emeri May and Oakley May.
The "singles" included Rebekah, Benjamin, Sarah and Samuel.
The "originals"
The grandchildren with Grandma and Grandpa.

The boys are going "relaxed"....

 Of course we had to do some of our own pictures.... with a family reunion shirt that I made just for the occasion. What is getting together without matching clothes???
