We have spent the last four days celebrating my husband’s family.
It started with a Facebook email from my precious sister-in-love a few weeks ago with an all call to the family about how we should celebrate her father’s 80th birthday.
The response was amazing!
The email grew to a string of over 500 interactions and family members from all over the country decided they wanted to be part of the celebration and made reservations to come.
Our celebration started as family began to arrive the day before the birthday party,
and continued through the weekend with
lefse making,
cousin outings,
family walks,
and the dedication of one of the newest family members in church this morning.
We met the youngest members of the family,
and celebrated the birthday of the oldest member of the family.
We missed those that were not able to be with us but we enjoyed all that were with us—
Rod’s parents, six of their children (and four of their spouses),
17 of their grandchildren (and several spouses and special friends),
and five of their great-grandchildren.
Who knows when we will all be together again but no matter how far apart we may be,
we will always love and celebrate that we are family!
As always, counting my blessings and loving that God gifted me with a Heart 4 Home!
