On Fri. afternoon the Troyers and their aunts and uncles and cousins and nieces and nephews and great grandchildren and other connections all started gathering for the weekend reunion. But what would a family gathering be without the Schwartz Quartet???
 |
| The Aunts and Uncles have arrived! So many wonderful things happen in the kitchen! We socialize and gather around, choosing which type of gourmet coffee we want to try from the Cernavas' stash. We watch our own cooking show unfold as Jake (head cook for the meal) and Lydia (his oldest sister) argue heatedly and humorously about how to fry hash browns. We all take our turns cooking and doing dishes and generally catching up with sad and glad things that have happened. 
Juliana is admiring one of five cakes that the aunts made for the occasion.

Lots and lots of discussions took place.
What an incredible family! Definitely not a boring bunch. Thank you, everyone for coming and adding to the mix. Praise the Lord, most of all for the gift He gave us of placing us together.
