This was my favourite night while I was home. We've never all been together like this before and I loved every minute of it.

Starting from the left: Margaret (my sister in-law, married to John), John (my brother just younger than me), Me (oldest kid), Martha (engaged to my brother, Daniel), Daniel (brother #3, 5th kid), Alisa (my sister-in-law, married to Euan), Euan (brother #2, 3rd kid).

Front: Ryan (mine), Fred (my brother-in-law, married to Rachel), Rachel (sister #1, 4th kid).

We ate chinese food, the boys played computer games, the ladies had a blether, and it was all just lovely.
