Do you have several generations in your family that you can get together with? I had a wonderful day today meeting my little (5days old) great great niece. It was wonderful being with my elder sister, her daughter and her daughter's daughter.
The mother of the baby who has two other children, is my great niece. Her two sisters were there too and one of them has a little boy. Such a lovely and loving family and the fact that they share their celebrations with me is wonderful. I have two daughters who have 3 little boys between them. They live in two different states and me in another, so I dont get to see them very often (except on skype - best invention for Nonnas and Gramps) so having been invited to our newest grandson's Christening in October ( which our other daughter and her little boy will attend) it will be the fist time our immediate family have been together for nearly 3 years. Just cant wait. Are you close with your family even if distance is against you getting together? Tell me about your family and how many generations can gather to celebrate.
