The Yount family celebration was, once again, a wonderful time. Grandpa and Grandma Yount have six children, nineteen grandchildren, and thirty great-grandchildren. There is at least one more great-grandchild on the way, due Easter Sunday. Congratulations Aaron and Sarah Ann! All were present at this year's event except Mike and Janan Kreger and their three children, Victoria, Ethan, and Connell (who live in Germany), and Eric, Megan, and Olivia Nichols. Thirty-one of us met at Bob Evans (the huge one at I-71 & Kings Mills Road) for brunch on Christmas Eve. Then it was on to Grandma's house, where we were thanking God for beautiful weather. The kids were able to play outside for awhile which helped make the house a little more comfortable! On Tuesday we all met at Germantown Pizza (Craig's shop)to spend the day eating, playing games, singing, laughing, and having a great time. We always get to watch a few would-be pizza patrons come up to the door and walk away disappointed after reading the sign which reads "Closed - Private Event". Some traditions include a Honeybaked ham along with the turkey, and Aunt Andrea's incredible cookies. I'm so glad my extended family travelled the miles, arranged the schedules, and made their way to Cincinnati. It was a blessing to be together again!
