We had a fantastic time at our Trani (et al) Family get together last weekend.With cousins stretched out all over Southern California, it is rare that we all sit down to a meal together.
Like my dad said, it was nice to have a party where no one died or got married.
We had aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and in-laws. A true modern family gathering if I've ever seen one.
The little cousins all had a blast playing together. Brenden and Max (both 2) and Jack (3 1/2) raced around the empty dining room, tried on football helmets and sat at the bar...reminded me of when I was a kid growing up in the restaurant. Of course times have changed some, they also spent time watching cartoons on the iPad! But in a nod to nostalgia they viewed Felix the Cat :-)
While the three little muskateers wore themselves out, our baby Lauren was just
soaking it all in. She managed to stay awake for the entire party without a nap! She was perfectly content to be passed around all day from one adoring auntie to another. And even after we left, she was so excited that she continued to chatter away in her car seat half way back to Ventura!
