Went to the family christmas party Sunday night. My brother and his family hosted it and everyone brought food to share. Lots of people came and ate and talked and had a good time.
It was great to see all my cousins talking amongst themselves and how well their kids all get along. I even got to see the inside of my nephew’s bedroom and the cool electric guitar and amp he got at a garage sale. Later I heard that my cousin Joe had “consulted” with him about this, giving him some advice about needing new strings etc. Since Joe plays himself that was a very nice thing. Always good to see my aunts and uncles. In short a good time was had by all.
I brought caesar salad at the request of my brother and hoooo baby, it was a good thing we’re all family and like each other because baby – that garlic was serious business! Mike snagged the left overs so I guess it passed muster.
I know our family really needed an occasion like this. It’s not all good times, but getting together like this reminds us of our past and what we share and why. Thanks everyone who made it all possible!
