Spring Gathering and Graduation - My Only Comfort

After a several tries, we finally managed to get together for our annual Pakjes on January 18.  Once again the creativity of the family was displayed in the wrapping of the gifts and poems/songs.  Lots of fun!  Several of the grandchildren also got together and performed for us - piano, violin, cello, recorder and panflute - beautiful, and fun to listen to.

And of course, the chess game
 

 
 
 
Here's one more of Oma's masterpieces, made for Sarah's doll
 
 
And we enjoyed a delicious Potluck meal together.  These two little girls love to take their time to enjoy theirs, oblivious to all around them.

 
 
 

We praise God for our wonderful family
and the loving fellowship and bounty we were able to enjoy again!

Congrats Esther on your graduation!
Like your dress - Oma did a good job fixing/changing it, didn't she?!

Sounded like neat play - did you ever get a recording of it?
