I have eight siblings, one husband, five children, two parents and one Grandma. It used to be hard enough keeping track of these birthdays, but then my siblings got married and started having children of their own ... we're like rabbits! Inevitably, we have multiple birthdays every month ... and that's just for my side of the family. So we started this crazy great tradition of meeting on the first Monday of each month for Family Home Evening with EVERYONE! The cousins love it and it makes it really nice for the adults.
We usually go to the park. Everybody just brings their own dinner, presents are optional and we all have a good time.
Tonight was no exception ...
A few months ago, Uncle Pat and his family started to join us, which has been so fun since Aunt Paulene takes it upon herself to provide the kids with something to entertain them every month. Tonight were these very animated balloon kits that even the teenagers had fun decorating.

I feel truly blessed to be a tiny part of your world and to know most of your family, they're all wonderful people. Our Gary has brought us so may joys but he hit the jackpot when he married you and you both gave us these beautiful, talanted, wonderful grandchildern, we are so very proud, of all of you.
