And reunion was lovely. As a whole. A success in the following ways:
The kids who vomited were neither mine, nor in my room.
My children love their cousins, all zillions of them.
I have great sibs.
Want to hear some funnies? Well, here are just a couple:
“Just because I’m looking at you, doesn’t mean I’m having bad thoughts.”
18-year-old cutest nephew ever sent a text to Grandpa the morning reunion was beginning. “Some Aunts got into the food. We need six more muffins and a dozen more bagels.” (None of those Aunts was me. Also, none were Aunts, as far as we know. Only Ants. But much funnier the way he sent it.)
“That’s my Aunt Becca. She’s my best friend.” (Bribery, anyone?)
“I love our family.”
“Sometimes I feel I’ve got to (bum-bum) run away, I’ve got to (bum-bum) get away.”
“This toilet experiences Poor Flushing.” (Which led to the teen girls’ rap, including the words, “The flushing is poor, don’t go through that door…”)
“I’m a finger licker and a double dipper.”
“Uncle K. is awesome.” (which, although it isn’t all that funny, is certainly true. And sweet. And awesome.)
So, all together a good experience. The next one is already in planning stages (but don’t tell Husband. He’d have a coronary. We’ll let this sink into a fuzzy memory before we bring up the future plans…).
I’ve had two wonderful family reunions this year. Go figure!! And your family is so big; that’s lots of opportunities for love and fun!

Suddenly I’m feeling homesick. So glad there was so much awesomeness.
