We recently huddled with the Holton clan. The CA/WA cousins who were unable to join us last year joined us this time. Mike (standing beside Adam in back, far left) is Adam's older cousin. He brought with him his wife Pam and children Daniel (middle, back), Lauren (behind Daniel, up high), Madison (beside Vanessa and Tuck) and Caleb (in front of Daniel, behind Madison). They're all wonderful kids and Vanessa really enjoyed visiting with them. Other new additions this year are Jack (front, very far right), Zane (you can guess his location) and another little cousin to arrive in the spring (belly of Cousin Christen -- behind Vicky).
It was an exciting time with lots of visiting and eating. Here's only one moment of fun:
As Grandpa Holton reminded us on August 18, 1995, it was a visit to be extra thankful for:
Giving Thanks
For health and food,
for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father, in heaven, we thank Thee.
~Emerson
