We had guests who flew in from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Korea and Papua New Guinea. We had 4 generations represented, from 3 months old to 90 years old. We had many nationalities present including HK Chinese obviously, but also Caucasian, Papua New Guinean, Italian, African, German, Argentinian, Samoan, Mainland Chinese and probably more that I'm not aware of. To say that I have a rainbow family is an understatement!
My Dad painstakingly drew up a Family Tree by hand which took him months. We booked a function room. Food, cameras and nametags galore (yes nametags - it actually helped a LOT). It was so good to catch up with relatives we haven't seen in a while, and also meet new relatives we'd previously not been in touch with.
I wore an Asos dress, Louboutin Jennys and usual silver jewelry.

Although the Family Reunion consumed most of my weekend, I did manage to squeeze in some macaron making. Salted caramel galore!!
Oh PS - on the job front: I got really good feedback from my second round interview. They said I am the strongest candidate and that I should receive the formal offer tomorrow so crossing my fingers and toes.
Oh PPS - I have been shoe shopping again. Naughty naughty.
Oh my! what a good looking pair you two make and I absolutely love your hair.
ReplyDeleteGood Effort for your Dad! I wish someone from my family did that - Did you enjoy yourself?
lols @ shoe shopping. What did your naughty self end up purchasing?
Good luck for the Job.. after a while the no job sitch gets overly boring, doesn't it? No matter how much you try and fill your time, theres just too much time in a day when you don't have to work! lol

I'll do a shoe reveal when I receive them!
DeleteHehe that reminds me, I need to get a haircut. It's so thick and long it's almost unmanageable!
Wow! What a massive reunion, and what a huge family, well done to your dad who put together the family tree. Sounds like you had a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I hope you get the job, thats very positive feedback you got!
It was such a good weekend and everyone involved had a fantastic time. Hats off to my Dad for organising it all.
DeleteGood luck with the offer.
ReplyDeleteHow many pairs of shoes do you have? Do you wear them all?
Haha. I get asked this question all the time. I've downsized a lot in the past few years due to moving house 3 times in 3 years. I think I'm down to 60-70 pairs of shoes and I do make an effort to wear all of them.
DeleteWow your dad is insane! But its so good that you get the chance to do that! Fingers crossed with the job :)
ReplyDeleteI know, such a crazy man. It's good though, it meant a lot to the Oldies to catch up and have photos taken.
Deletewow that's a huge huge reunion! your dad did a great job.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the offer. Fingers crossed xx
Thanks Liz!
DeleteYeah everyone is so grateful to my Dad for organising it, it was such a hit!!
