Fourth Sunday

Today was our fourth Sunday family dinner. Everyone from The Mr.'s side of the family who lives in the area comes for a potluck dinner followed by games and visiting. I really enjoy these evenings -- especially the people we share them with:

• The 14-year-old who heads straight for the piano the minute he walks in the door, providing the background music for our evening.
• The sister and brother-in-law who always modify their recipes to provide a healthier alternative.
• The newlyweds who can't keep their hands off each other.
• The 20-something nephews who still give hugs goodbye.
• The various girlfriends of the 20-something nephews who have been good sports and joined right in with the games.
• The 15-year-old who sneaks away from the games to play on the computer and eat the left-over desert.
• The one-year-old who keeps us entertained with her funny antics.
• The niece (and mother of said one-year-old) who is so patient when it's definitely gotten past her baby's bedtime.
• The "occasional attenders" who we'd like to see a little more often. (You know who you are!)

I love these guys -- I feel so lucky to have married into such an awesome family!
