Family

I have finally found the perfect word to describe my family gatherings. my familty is not as small as some and is certainly not as big as some but its at about a dozen.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
My Family:
Me
Alex
Mom
Dad
Auntie Jackie
Curt
Helen
Mark
Uncle John
Auntie Judy
Then we've got:
Dominic
and Uncle Ed(i mena i guess hes my family but i thinks hes actually my first cousin once removed??)
and ummm i know there are others but its gone right now!lol

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
anywayz...when we all get to gether our celebrations are truly...convivial!

convivial \kuhn-VIV-ee-uhl\, adjective:Relating to, occupied with, or fond of feasting, drinking, and good company; merry; festive.

our family gathering really are like that ( at least from my piont of view) and i really like. we probaly won't have many more like that.(wow i have been so depressing recently although its all coming together at once, selling flop, graduation, possibly going away for the year, and all of it!) and besides i really do like my family, just as it is, and just like it will be as time goes on and it all changes again!
