My cousin and I organized our first ever family reunion this month and we both decided to celebrate it during our grandfather’s 80th birthday. It’s a double special occasion for the whole family… not to mention that it’s my cousin’s birthday 4 days after the reunion. With a limited time, we decided to give it a try and convinced all members of the family to gather and attend the event. I picked the place, a semi-private resort is my best option because we are free to do anything we want and the whole place is exclusively ours for 1 whole day.
Such a big family and how fun it is to witnessed such event where every member of the family is present headed by my Lolo with each of his children who also bring their own big family, not to mention the family of some of his 1st generation grandchildren. Some of my cousins also bring their boyfriends or girlfriends and what amazed me the most is when I heard that my aunt just gave birth 2 weeks ago and the newly born baby who is my new cousin also attended the occasion. I saw many unfamiliar little faces which I learned that they were all my cousins and I only meet them on this reunion, some are already grown up that I don’t recognize their faces anymore.
Family reunion is one beautiful way to bond every member together and reunite the relationships especially seeing each other is very seldom. After this successful event, everybody wants to hold gathering like this annually, and maybe next time we could organize a complete program that will add the fun. But even if how short notice this occasion is for all of us, I appreciate the cooperation and the attendance. Everybody can’t wait for me to upload all our pictures… haha…
I am looking forward for our next Family Reunion and I will make sure it will be extra fun and memorable.
