a successful family gathering (for a change)

For the first time in maybe, EVER, Logan and I had fun at a family gathering! There are 8 of us, and we only see 4 of them during the holidays. The fly in this ointment is usually Logan, screaming about being bored or something equally childish. This time I took offensive measures and took the wii. Naturally it was a hit, and Logan had a great time with his relatives! Yeah!

Now my mother and aunt are oil and water. But apparently both of them have been writing down memories of their lives into journals to pass along to my cousin and myself. I think this is a brilliant idea. I often wished that I had recordings of my grandmother and great aunts and uncles telling all their stories. I might just start using this blog as a way to document my memories of them and the rest of my family. The first year of Logan's life I wrote down everything. Then life got so hectic I stopped. Really wish I hadn't.
