McMahon Family Reunion

Kaylee asked me why we are starting the family reunion and it made me stop and think...

* I am blessed to still have my family.  We have been very fortunate and at this time we have only lost one loved one. 

* I cant believe we all still get together! Since our family has grown so much we are not able to comfortably fit in my grandma's house anymore so we started a family reunion and we still get together for Christmas.

* How many people can say that they still see their aunts, uncles and cousins regularly?  I don't know of many and I am honored to be able to do that.  
 
* Not only am I lucky to still have my cousins but our kids now love to be with each other.  Kaylee might not understand that now but she will.  I never understood why family mattered so much until I became and adult and started having kids myself.
 
*We really do ban together! My grandparents divorced but yet we all still get together as one family.  Some may fight at times but it all works out in the end. 

*  No matter how dysfunctional we all may be we are ALL family and enjoy the time we have together.

Sitting back watching all of us together made me realize just how lucky we really are!
