This functional family

In this age when dis-functional families often seem to be the norm, I am pleased to report that my family is very functional.  We had a family dinner tonight, 11 of us, including 3 generations of siblings, cousins, in-laws, parents and children, and we had fun - good conversation, good food (I cooked but everyone ate without being forced, so I'm assuming it was good), four young cousins - my grandchildren - playing happily together, even our family's inimitable rendition of "Happy Birthday" to salute a son and son-in-law who celebrated birthdays this month.  I am so blessed.
