Stellhorn Christmas

Twice a year we get together with my Grandma Salger's extended family. We rarely go to the summer reunion (because it's in August and outside!) but we rarely miss the Stellhorn Christmas. The Christmas gathering consists of all my Grandma's sibilings and their kids. There are 40 cousins in my Dad's generation, so you can kind imagine how many second and third cousins there are! Not everyone comes but there is usually a good showing from each different family.

This year Aubrey was the youngest attendee. We took the opportunity to snap a quick picture with the oldest attendee, her Great-Great Aunt Bernice. My Grandma and Bernice look so much a like. My Grandma has been gone for 16 years this coming April but seeing Aubrey with Bernice kind of gave us an idea of how things would have been if she were still here.
