Ritchey Christmas

Friday the 8th was the Ritchey side Christmas get together. It was to be at our house and I was so looking forward to having it. However, due to me becoming the Christmas invalid...it was decided that I didn't need to do it. So mom had it in the gym at their church and everyone brought finger foods. As per usual...there was so much food it looked like a buffet! Below is the "older" table. My pap and gram, uncle Dave, uncle Scott, Ruth, Nadia, Mom and Dad.

Here is the kids' table. Left side from front: Caitlyn West, Brianna Ritchey, Jetta, Katressa Ritchey (I think). Right side from front: Landon West, Brianna West, Austin, Lynisa Ritchey, Hannah Ritchey, Bia. Karen Ritchey was sitting here with the kids but I'm not sure where she got to. I think she skipped out when she saw me taking pictures.

The young table!! From left front: Troll, Wes Ritchey, Paul West, Jaron Byler. From right front: Titus Ritchey, Anita Ritchey, Andrea Ritchey, Liz West, Sheri Byler. We missed my brother Doran and his wife Diane and their two kids, Courtney and Taylor, being with us but Idaho was a bit far to travel for an evening get together! Also my aunt Carol and her husband Dave and their daugther Dakota weren't able to be there. Other than that.....this is the Ritchey crew.

Here is my favorite picture of the evening. My cousin, Liz, from Alaska and I have been told numerous times that we look alike. At times I've seen it and at times I've felt bad for Liz to be told she looks like me!! Lol!! Anyway, I don't get to see her that often due to distance and it's always gr8 to be able to get together with her. After Troll took this picture I was shocked to see that we really did look allot alike. :-) And i'm really not taller than her in real life. Guess that was due to my 3" heeled boots!!

So there ya go. That's what my dad's side of the family looks like. Good looking crew, huh?! It was nice getting together with everyone. Even had a rousing game of golf going on at the "young" table.
