Family Dinner

Today we had a small semi family reunion for my Dad's side. We all met at a restaurant. It was awesome to see everyone. Since our family is scattered in different directions meeting up in the middle was the best thing to do. We all arrived at 3, had a late lunch/early dinner. Most of them hadn't seen Charlie, or my sister's newest baby. The conversation's flew. I felt bad that you couldn't really spend a lot of individual time, but something was better than nothing.
My highlight was just looking around and seeing the smiles of peoples faces. This is our family. We are not ones who socialize very much, something that I never really understood. I heard several of them say we should do this more often, and I agree. Perhaps every 6 months, or 1 time a year, whatever the majority wants.
Happy everyone made it a point to attend, turned out great.
