What a Delightful evening! My half of the clan gathered in one place at one time and ate and laughed and told stories and caught up and filled the house with love and joy and Life! Both sons-in-law are chefs so we didn't just eat, we Feasted! Prime rib, veggies including fresh corn on the cob and Yorkshire pudding! Sometimes called popovers. And because one son-in-law has Canadian/British roots, we had Yorkshire pudding ~ the real thing! Oh Yum!
It was one of those family evenings that is almost out of memory even if you never had one. The kitchen was filled with people, aromas, laughter, discussion of cooking times, seasonings and preparation suggestions. Then the kitchen would be left alone and we would all be in the living room talking and sharing until the timer dinged and back to the kitchen for more culinary merriment. The table became a "groaning board" as we passed around every dish and then became Very Silent as we savored all the wonderful tastes prepared with such love and joy.
It was Wonderful. And as all wonder, mixed with a little poignancy as we may not have a chance to be all together again for quite a while. Maybe that added spice to the event. I don't know. I do know it was delightful, wonderful and will live in memory for a long, long time. ~ blessings

Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. It's rare when all can be together like that. I'm glad you were able to do so.
And you all look marvelous!
