When your not the bride wedding festivities are lots of fun! 
If the Sun is shinning then the kiddos are swimming! When we were kids we swam till our lips turned blue and we couldn't feel our limbs and we turned out okay!
As kids we played with our cousins all of the time. Every summer we could get together and run amuck! And It was high time that we got together to teach our children the ways of their parents!
A Dance party on the furniture, proved that they passed with flying colors. The 2nd generation of cousins is defenitely ready to make trouble!
Why is it that it takes a wedding or a funeral to get a family together? Either way someone is always left out of all the fun. Growing up it seemed as if we got together more often, now it practically takes an act of Congress to get us all together.
Since I am not allowing anyone to die, and MoMo is the only one left to marry off, we are going to have to start coming up with other reasons to get the whole gang together more often!
My children need to know that Auntie Doris can hold her own against Auntie Joey. And that Auntie Rachie and Auntie Bethy are the best manicurist in town. Pretty much they are the best at everything, I mean they did run Auntie Loni's Cafe all on their own at a very young age!
Their are so many stories that kids need to have and their is absolutely no way that they can be packed into a crazy weekend! Our family seems to have an infinite amount of aunties and twice as many stories.
For starters it would take more than a long weekend just to explain how all our Aunties are technically or spiritually related. (We have a lot of adopted Aunties)
What a great event,it was our privilege to open up our home to many dear family members to celebrate with Meli & Gavin. We look forward to hosting many more group gatherings,so mark your calenders cuz Jenny will be orchestrating a summer reunion. :)
