Family Reunion

We headed to El Paso to reunite with family to celebrate two birthdays. Nana turned 70 and Sienna turned 5! The four days were packed with fun activities, from a breakfast birthday party to a fajita fiesta to family photos. It was so great to see all eleven cousins together for the first time. The last time we all got together the last three cousins hadn't been born yet. So it was time to reunite and take another family photo. The Fiesta honoring Nana turned out great. And she's such a good friend and neighbor that all but one of her invitees showed up. The restaurant was packed with over 60 people but everyone seemed to have a great time. The cousins had their own table sprawled with iphones, ipads, sticker books and personal gaming systems. Whatever it takes sometimes, right?

We all had a great time catching up, celebrating, and watching the cousins have fun.  I only hope it doesn't take another three years for us all to come together again.
