Well, it's over! Everyone went home finally!!! It was a long day, but it was good, definitely. There were some sad moments... This was the first holiday we've spent together since my uncle died in April, and it was very weird not having him there. My aunt and their two girls came, though, so that was nice. Also my great grandmother had a stroke this past month and isn't doing so well, both she and my pop pop came. It was sad seeing her like that.
Other than that! It went really well. The food was great, no one was late, and everyone was kept really busy visiting and whatnot.
In total, we had 46 people, including myself. Busy, busy, busy.
My favorite part of the meal (food wise) was the mashed potatoes. :heart: My favorite part of the meal not food wise was when Alyssa put green beans on my cousin Elias' plate (he's 3). He looked very not happy with this, and said "Who put green beans on my plate?" and someone told him Alyssa does, and without a beat, he goes "I don't like her." Just the way he said it was so friggin funny! It's always fun when we all get together and the kids are just hilarous. It was a good time.
