How rare is it to stumble upon a weekend when all the Great Aunts and Uncles are in town under one roof? It's extremely rare, but I'm finding that it may become an annual occurance. My aunt and uncle do this Italian dinner every year for the religious education staff from their church. It draws quite a group and rightfully so. The food choices are authentic and in abundance as there are generally over ten courses with the very last course--yes, after coffee, liquours and desserts--another pasta dish. It is one that is for the digestive system! Well, the servers for this grand event have been growing in number each year and are continually fulfilled by the cousins.
This year, by far, drew up the largest family support. All my dad's brothers and sisters were together under one roof for the celebration (with their children to do the work). The night after this grand affair Kaitlyn and I ventured back to my aunt and uncles house in Riverside to spend a few hours in conversation with the clan. When I took some time for respite, these photos were taken. Kaitlyn sure is air born and seems to find herself content in anyone's arms, but especially Grandpa's!
