I've decided to let a few of our family members captured during the 2015 reunion provide a glimpse of the event:
![Gib and Bo have some great family memories to share. And Bo is holding a copy of my Niehaus Family Newsletter. Maybe they're thinking of stories for next year.

Two amigo cousins and just plain nice guys: Bo Buis and Gib Hickman shared the family news. I believe they were even sharing that copy of my Niehaus Newsletter.

Happy niece and aunt, Brenda Henigan and Diana Pugh always bring smiles.

Cutie patootie, Aniah Buis, enjoyed her coloring and also was ready to take part in our festivities.

Scotty Moreland got his chance to visit with the popular little puppy of the day.
![Family Quilt Squares - each one to be included in next year's quilt Inscribing family quilt squares is a labor of love for everyone. We know that next year's quilt will include every one of them, along with some special ones made by Peg Stull as she completes the quilt design.](http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hiwu2IKEF-w/VhiKapqI6uI/AAAAAAAB6VU/4rOzkAniKR8/2015%252520Niehaus%252520Reunion%25252019_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)
Mary Anne Lindblom and Krissy Underwood created beautiful family quilt squares for next year's memento.
![Thanks Rosie and Amy for doing your part to identify the ancestors in the 1940 Reunion photo. The 1940 Reunion photo contains many of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents.
