We're Hee-eere!

We arrived at 11, and gradually family trickled in to hang with us. By the time dinner arrived (I made my killer chev cheese based pasta salad), all siblings, children and grandparents had arrived, so dinner was a wild, unwieldy festival of laughing, serving, chasing, talking, joking, chasing, swimming, eating, talking, yelling and laughing -- it's nice to feel special.
