Fa Family Reunion

This year the reunion was here in Mesa! The last couple times it was in San Fran and Oregon and we werent able to go. It was so much fun and great to see cousins and family that I havent seen in like 7 years! Not everyone was there... but I learned that with the 13 living siblings (out of 17 kids total) that my dad has, there are 56 grandchildren and close to 70 great grandchildren! Insane, right? And its all because of these 2:

Uaisele and Fangapulotu Fa

We started off the reunion with breakfast on Thanksgiving day. We came a little late and all the food was pretty much gone,except for keke (little sweet bread balls, deep fried..lots of yums) which are my favorite anyways. My parents and fam & aunt were in charge of food this day and they managed to produce ALOT of yummy food. I have never seen so many turkeys. Sorry about all the food talk but... reunion+thanksgiving weekend+tongans= a whole lot of food!

Here's the whole crew..

Saturday morning was our last get together at my uncle Cary's house. They had a fry bread stand in their back yard and I mightve had a little too much. You gotta get a taco one and a honey one right?..no. I guess if you want 7 lbs in 3 days, which feels awesome by the way! This last meeting was SO much fun. They played a Fa trivia game 1st generation vs. 2nd generation and my aunties were cracking me up! The questions were like "What year did grandma and grandpa get married?" which I got wrong..It was 1940? I said 49..derr my dad was born in 44!

Anyways, afterwards my dad got up and was asking his own questions pretending he was going to give money to who answered right but really just wanted attention...so my dad! :) He was like "Who here has the most twins in the family...or who has the most grandchildren" which he doesnt. But then my auntie Betty got up and said "How many handicaps are in the family?" HAHA! And then my cousin said "Which uncle has had the most girlfriends?"(not my dad:) I was dying laughing! I guess you had to be there. But my family and cousins are hilarious, it was good times.

Here's a video of my cousin Sitiveni's daughters dancing...
