Family holiday get together is coming up

Sunday this week. We'll have 150 or so family members and a good passel of friends at our gathering. About 30 years ago we had to start renting the community building in our home town to hold this get together in because we just out grew using any of our homes to do it at. I remember when I used to know everyone by name, that's not the case any more though. Too many kids having kids to remember them all.
No discussion of politics or religion allowed. That pretty much is how we've stayed together all these years. We just agreed to disagreed years ago.

The oldest member of our family is my sister at 82 and the youngest is my brother at 61. My parents had 13 of us kids in all with 8 of us still getting along able to put our own clothes on in the morning.
I have a lot to be thankful for.
Peace to all
