thoughts of togetherness

Happy 35th Birthday Cindy!
Every year on Cindy's birthday, our family always makes sure to take some extra time during the day to celebrate in her honor. Previous birthday blog entries have shared the numerous ways - both big and small, that we commemorate this special day.

This year, it turned out that we were lucky enough to share part of the day with the majority of our large extended family on the Rabuy side - more than 50 cousins, aunts and uncles. We all came together for dinner to celebrate the wedding of our cousin Raisl, and her new husband Paul.  

Although Cindy often had mixed feelings about her birthday being close to Christmas, I think that today she is smiling down from heaven, and is more than happy to share this date with Raisl and Paul. Their wedding is an additional reason to celebrate, and today was a wonderful opportunity for an even greater number of our family members to be together.

Congratulations and best wishes to Raisl and Paul. Your wedding is another reminder to be joyful on this date. I'm confident that Cindy is excited that you've added even more reason for all of us to come together and celebrate today.
