It just doesn't
get any better than that. Well, it could - the entire
family could be there - but that's a divorced kid's
dream that just will never be realized. Everyone
segmented, everyone seperate... to someone who is 2000
away from this family it all seems very odd. You know,
the drama. You won't "break bread" with him? With
her?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
So it falls to the
younger genreation to wait until those people die and
maybe, just maybe be open and honest with each other
and choose love over fear. Who am I kidding
though. Every young generation thinks that and we all
get old and cranky.
Ha.
But how adorable
is my cousin singing with the ukelele? Actually
stunned she sat down in front of everyone and did
that. I wouldn't have done that at her age. Very cute,
and hey I get to use other music for a Journey
video!!!
Anyway,
I love the big holiday get togethers more than
anything. The more the merrier to me. Pack 'em in,
watch the kids be kids and sit with a little ouzo and
watch the old get older. I guess in the end I'm just a
people person and in fact? I actually DO dig the
drama and the clashing personalities - I just want
them all together for the video possibilities. LMAO.
Oh and about the video...
Jacob "sat on his
phone" and "Accidentally dialed 911" and then
hung up. The cops came and "Explained to him" that
that's really, really not cool - especially on
holidays when there are legit emergencies and that
they're now being taken away from those because of
Jacob's butt. So made the video to me. What's a
holiday without the cops, right? LMAO. GOod
stuff.
And of course,
Vienna was a big hit. This is a family of
SIX children and of course the youngest, Gracie,
was the most excited for Vienna's presence as she's
never really had a baby to play with. :-) Wish we were
closer. Usually that's the theme of my visits back to
Columbus as we're leaving...
