Oh family.....I am very lucky to have a great family. Even though we might not see most of our family very often we do try to keep in touch. I know that everyone in my family would be there for us if we ever needed anything.
My dad's side of the family...they are funny! They are loud, speak their mind, and did I mention funny! They can make me cry with laughter and that is something I always look forward to when being with them. They love food as much as my family does...Steve tells me that food doesn't solve every problem, but I think my family would disagree!
My mom's family lives all over the United States so we are lucky if we see them once a year. But we do have a family reunion every other year that we all attend. Of course, it can get overwhelming with everyone but it is fun to see everyone. We have our family olympics and talent show where people laugh, cry and get mad. The olympics are very serious from picking the teams to picking the perfect balloon for the water balloon contest! We have trophies too. We stay up late talking and drinking, well some go to bed early because of the drinking!
Steve's family is very different than mine, but also very close. They all live within an hour of us. Steve is the baby of the family with 9 nieces and nephews. I'm the oldest and just had the first grandchild of my family. My parents don't drink alcohol, his family drinks for every occasion. His family is able to get together every year for a week of vacation, which is very laid back and fun!
There are other people in our lives who I would consider family also...those people I've known for a long time or who have had an important impact in our lives. You know who you are, and thank you for including us in your lives and letting us into yours.
