The weekend started with a small affair. What do you get when you mix together 2 parents, 11 siblings, 4 siblings, 12 spouses/significant others, 6 siblings, 2 sisters-in-law, 5 canning jar lids gold rings, and a partridge in a pear tree? That's right - Christmas in July for my large extended family! My mother threw a lovely party with a 12 Days of Christmas theme for all 15 of my parents' siblings and their spouses/others - something she's always wanted to do (always meaning since that day she read about one such party in a Martha Stewart Living magazine!). My 5 siblings and I, along with my 2 sisters-in-law, donned our khakis and whites and played hosts. We prepared the brunch, served mimosas, refilled coffee, cleared the tables... And enjoyed every minute of taking part in such a fun family affair. Well done, Mom!
