Another Wonderful Year At The Farm.....

We had our annual family reunion at the farm the first weekend in December....and as always it was awesome! :) It was so great to get the huge extended family-aunts, uncles, cousins, etc all together for a celebration including amazing food, fun activities, great conversation, and even more laughs....all while making another year of memories. Love it! :)

Each year a different family (or a few families) sign up to take the lead and be the hosts. This year it was our turn so my mom/dad, brother/sis in law, and Chris/I volunteered and a year of planning began! It was fun to spend the year trying to decide all of the ways that we could fit fun activities into the 8 hour day, shop for decor and treats, settle on someone to cater the lunch meal, etc. It is so much work but so worth it in the end. It really was so fun! :) There are lots of pics below to touch on the events of the day. :) So glad we had so many amazing family members there!! What an incredible turnout of about 80 people. We love you guys!!

The quaint little farmhouse with so many memories over the years...
My sis in law made these amazing trees to go with the decor. :) Hayride time!!
The tree filled with ornaments with everyone's pictures inside. We also started a new tradition this year called "Boehm Buddies", where everyone is matched with someone else in the family (to keep in touch with over the year). Shout out to my Boehm Buddy Brandi!! Looking forward to seeing you soon! :)
