I love my extended family! Gotta say, I just love them! Last night at the reception of a cousin, my mom's family all hung out for quite a while after the bride and groom left. Finally, my aunt said, "Hey, guys, I know all us Banks don't want to leave because we like talking, but it's getting late."
We all sort of look alike. We always have fun when we're together. And, what's more... we LIKE each other! That's sort of a key element to having a successful family :)
As I stood watching my family mix and mingle, I thought of my grandparents who would have loved seeing all of us together and would have loved holding the little great-grandbabies, seeing newlywed grandkids, and talking with their amazing grown kids. Sometimes (especially on days like yesterday), I really miss my grandparents who have been gone for a while now (1997 and 2003) but that's the best thing about the gospel-- you know they get to share in key life moments and are waiting to be with all of again!
