Family

Tomorrow we will have probably somewhere around 50 people descend on our house, and they will stay pretty much all day. They will all be either my Mother's brother or sisters, their kids, or grandkids. Yep, we will all have some of their blood running thru us. My Grandma died unexpectedly.

One of my Aunts was determined that we have a theme, so we are doing the Olympics, but with our style of games. Water baloons, bocci ball, croquet, badmitton, volleyball, but we have medals all made up and prizes too. We also have Family Fued, and other games. It should be tons of fun and an event to remember.

We have been bringing out pictures by the hundreds, marking your initials on the back, so you hopefully will get them back. It is sad looking through some of the pics of family who has gone on to Heaven. And others who have had a rough life and now look so much older than their actual years. Sad stuff.

But there are also dozens of hilarious pics. Our family is crazy, and someone is always joking or playing a joke on someone else, like sticking bananas in their ears. Or people cramming in to a perfectly good photo right before the flash goes off. And more Christmas photos than you can count and can only distinguish by the fact that different clothes are on each picture, or the grandkids are a certain age.

I am sure that by tomorrow evening and Sunday we will all be worn out, probably a little sunburned, but with lots more pictures and even more memories. It should be a fun day, but I am going to bed early tonight to rest up before they all descend on our house. I will love every minute!!!!

Forgot to mention the super great thing that happened today. Tonight around 8, my little cousins that started this whole Webkins thing, came over and climbed in bed with me (one was laying against my side with his head on my shoulder, and the other was kind of lying on my stomach) and we stayed that way and I showed them my new rooms on the site, and showed them a few games that they did not know how to play. Tomorrow we have a "date" to get our pets and have them play together. I hope they know how to do that, I have no idea.

My Aunt got some pictures of us like that. I found out later that they had come from a pool party and were damp and cold. That is probably the reason they wanted to cuddle, no other reason. Oh well, I will take what I can get.
