During our visit to Arizona, Rhonda's brother Mike brought us to the Cox Family Christmas Program in Mesa. The total history escapes me at the moment, but some years ago the Cox ancestors had a whole bunch of kids, who each had a bunch of kids, who then each had a bunch more. The current descendants number in the many hundreds, enough to fill a gymnasium for a Christmas devotional.
It's amazing to think that a family still maintains that level of connection after so many generations.
During the program, all the children perform the Nativity story. Even McKenna and Whitney got to perform as angels. After the traditional Christmas story, various family groups perform musical numbers. In the photographs that follow, Gaylene and the Roberts Sisters performed.
We also got to see Gaylene's brother Jon.
