Bush Family Reunion 2015

Our family was in charge of the reunion this year,

so we thought it would be a great idea to bring my Dad's backyard carnival.

It was a hit!!

The candy/money dig is always a fun tradition.

A wonderful part of family reunions is getting to catch up with family that I don't get to see often.

I got a picture with my cousin Lonnie and her husband Roger.

I still remember when my sister Jan and I spent a few weeks with them one summer long ago.

We worked in their hardware store and just had a fun time with them.

New Tradition

This post is quite a bit overdue, but since this blog is basically a family journal of sorts, I wanted to post it anyway.

After the holidays last year we started a new family tradition. We put all the Christmas cards that we received in a basket and each night at family prayer time one of us would choose a card out of the basket and we would talk about who sent it to us and then we would include that person or family in our prayer.

I really enjoyed it and I think that the kids did too. We had some particularly sweet prayers. I liked how it got the kids thinking of others and remembering family and friends.



I look forward to doing it again with the cards we get this year.
