My extended family has this long tradition of holding week long family parties. This is this year's schedule:
Sunday: Carmel Mountain Family
Monday: El Cajon Family
Tuesday: Carmel Mountain Family #2
Wednesday: My family
Thursday: Escondido Family
Friday: Out to dinner! (Treated by those who are not hosting a party at their house)
Saturday: Break
Sunday: Alpine Family
To launch off our week long family parties, we started yesterday, at our Uncle's house in Carmel Mountain.
There is a lot of competition among those who decide to host a party and participate in the week long party extravaganza. My family is a frequent participant in holding such parties, but it has been two years since we've last hosted. This year my parents decided to jump back into the game since both my brother and I graduated this year and my parents want to celebrate.
It has been a long time since I've last attended such parties because I've been in Berkeley for so long. However, since I'm home this year, I can go this time, and boy was I impressed!!
These parties are no long the same amateur parties I used to attend two years ago. The Carmel Mountain Family Party used to be ranked one of the worst of all the parties, but yesterday, it jump started our week with one of the most amazing display of food that far surpasses what I remember any of the family parties being capable of!! Honestly, there was so much food there that even if I sampled one bite of each dish I would be full already!
I also enjoyed getting reacquainted with some of my baby cousins! Those darn rug-rats are soooo cute!!
I can't wait to see what today holds!!
