A Night for Celebrations

This past weekend the family all got together to celebrate 5 different occasions, yes 5. Our gang is getting so large that we can't possibly celebrate them all separately, otherwise we'd be camped out together 24/7. Uncle Pat suggested that we all go in together and purchase a compound in South America, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea. Here's a little recipe for an evening of fun:


It all starts on October 4, 1968.




Then you set the mood...






Throw in a houseful of guests.




Add about 1 million gifts.




Don't forget a pinch of football.




Stir in four sweaty little boys...




and one preteen.




Add one birthday princess.




Two birthday cakes and three "...and Many More's."








And finally you'll want to top it all off with a good dose of political argument.




Cook for 40 years.
