are usually just 7 of us, but for holidays, it grows to 12. It's another story if we have family reunions. I think I have about 36 first cousins on my Mom's side and about 40 on my Dad's side.

Just as you said, "we do as our parents set the tone..." and enjoy our time together.

Hope your day is filled with love. I know your ribs are amazing!

PS: We're having pot roast.
