Celebrating Family!
This weekend was amazingly, wonderfully, fantasical!
My husband’s family is crazy, in an incredible way. This past weekend was the celebration of my hubby’s grandma’s 90th birthday. Family came from all over the country to celebrate her! This celebration gave my boys their first taste of the crazy Tuimala clan. They had so many aunts, uncles, and cousins surrounding them that there was no chance to miss the family-ness.
The first part of the celebration made our family-ness very real to me, and hopefully to my boys. It was photo time! Little, 90-year-old Helen sat in a high-backed wooden chair as the photographed called up different combinations of family members.
- Just the kids…now the kids and their spouses…now the kids, their spouses, and the grand kids….now the kids, their spouses, the grand kids and their spouses….
You get the idea.
It was amazing to see this woman’s progeny surround her, one by one.
Finally, it was the great grand kids. That meant OUR BOYS!!!! What a thrill it was to see my two handsome boys join their cousins and surround their GG to be part of the family portrait. THEY ARE PART OF THE FAMILY!
I am so proud of the clan. They treated my boys as if they had always been a part. Many of us had not seen each other in five or six years, so there were so many changes, I guess two new boys didn’t really make a dent. 
Anywho, I will definitely share more stories later, but for now, I celebrate the fact that my boys have found a clan to in which to belong.
