Family Fun...

I have a wonderfully large extended family. In my generation, there are ten of us that see each other pretty regularly, and as many know, we are going through the wedding marathons lately – with this summer adding three more to the ranks of wedded bliss. Luckily all the “in-laws” are pretty cool so the weddings are a blast, and subsequent events are always fun.

Saturday was the bachlorette party for one of the above-mentioned cousins. Now although there was potential for a wild and crazy type of party (aka – strippers) we behaved like the proper women we are (ahem) and spent about 10 hours drinking, talking and having a big o’l slumber party.

Our bride-to-be was a great sport – letting us put a tiara, veil and many other accoutrements on her person while we went out in public – my favorite: the button that said “last chance for kisses, I’ll soon be a Mrs.” Of course, being that obvious we drew our fair share of attention, and I want to thank the young men from North Carolina for the bottles of wine they sent to our table.

I really did have a great time…especially watching the P&L wedding video in which certain members of the family went a bit crazy on the dance floor. And we learned that L is not allergic to mole, but mold. So here’s to more good times!
