January Cousin Dinner

I hosted our monthly "cousin dinner" for cousins on my dad's side of the family that live in the area (give or take a few hours).  We were missing a handful of local cousins for various reasons, but in the end we still had 27 of us there.

We had 4 kinds of soup, salads, rolls & chocolate fondue for dessert.  It was all delicious & I think everyone went away satisfied.  And I came away exhausted!  (Is there a such thing as a hangover when you don't drink?  If so, I had one!)

I hope I have everyone's names & spellings right.  Forgive me if I don't.
My sister, Kelsey & her husband, Cedric
