Family Fun...
After 2 months of preparation, the big Navarro Family Reunion has come and gone! It was soooo much fun, and soooo many people. My "aunt" (she is 2-3 years younger than me, but is my mom's first cousin) worked on a family tree by making a leaf for every member of the family. The total number of leaves made and cut = 145, and we were missing another 8 people!!!
Unfortunately not everyone was there, but it was really great to see my 'Nanay' with her siblings again. We learned a lot about our Lolo and Lola which created some tears, but it was great to see all my relatives who I last saw/remember as being the ages of my sons!! Now they are all taller than me!
We took family portraits which was fun, until I had to get our "Santos" family picture. Let's just say that we took up half the family tree, and when we were gathered for our picture it looked a Likha cast picture with KP!!! Practically the whole party was in our picture. That's a lot of reproduction! We are also definitely the comedians of the family! Even our sad moments ends up with laughter!
DJ John was great with all the music and karaoke he provided, and his cleaning skills are impressive! Thank you babe for sharing YOUR birthday with my family. The funny thing though was that he saw a former co-worker of his from his days at Wells Fargo!!! What a small world.
That day I realized how important FAMILY is. Not just immediate family but the extended family. We all grow up differently and separated but we can always come together to enjoy our bond as family.!!! And that is something I am thankful for being able to provide for my children.
