Boehnke Family Christmas Held

Over thirty members of the Boehnke family gathered over the weekend for the annual Boehnke family Christmas. They had family members who traveled all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah, to attend this fun and festive event.

The family members exchanged gifts and played lots of games. They are not a shy group and sometimes things got a little loud and rowdy, but it was all in good fun. They enjoyed not only visiting and catching up, but they also gathered a large portion of the family to go out on a hay ride through the countryside.

The family also feasted on some wonderful Christmas treats. No one went hungry! This wonderful time of eating and laughing lasted all weekend with many staying at Devon Boehnke, Dana and Darrell’s home and a few staying nearby to keep in the loop of family fun.
