On family reunions

Last night we had our Chin family reunion, which is my grandma's family on my dad's side. She has four sisters and two brothers, and almost all of them have kids, who also have kids. Needless to say, there are a lot of people at these things haha.

Family reunions are always interesting because I would guess that most aren't really sure what to expect. The hope is that everyone would be happy to see each other, being that a decent amount of time has passed since the last time the family got together, but on the other hand, it's very possible for it to be weird, because, well a decent amount of time has passed since the last time the family got together.

Fortunately for us, especially my grandma (who basically planned the whole thing), it was a lot of fun. It had probably been a couple years since we'd seen everyone, but things just seemed to fall into place. It was awesome catching up with everyone, and you can't really go wrong with awesome food and new card games.

I guess it has to do with collective effort- if everyone tries to have fun and reconnect with each other, it's going to make the night a fun one.

I hope all of you had a nice holiday!
