Pot luck and paper mustaches

We had a going-away party for my aunt this weekend and it was the first time in a long time that most of my family was all together. In between catching up on who had a new kid and who was working at a new job and how many mini cupcakes we could eat, I found I had forgotten one important thing. The fact that I have a pretty awesome family.

We are such a big family with such different people but there are times when none of that matters and we are just one awesome group. The fans of MacGyver, the fans of video games, the ones who make silly jokes and the ones who laugh at them. The people who teach their kids to walk like penguins and who snort when they laugh and tease little old ladies about their height.  The family that not only tolerates me teaching four year olds to make paper mustaches, but then takes pictures of various people wearing them.

I’m incredibly blessed to be a member of this family and I can’t wait till we can get together again.
