Ricketts Family Traditions

The Ricketts family has been gathering twice for Christmas since I was about 8 years old. After my Grandpa Jim married Grandma Veda (adding her 4 daughters and their children) the family got too big (currently at 29 cousins) to meet at my grandparent's house. We then started what's called the "Children's Party" at my grandparent's country club. We also decided to have an "Adult Party" for Ricketts adults at rotating homes. Today, there are so many adult children that we are busting at the seams.

The parties themselves and the activities (music, children's performance, Santa, group photos, etc.) make up our traditions!
