Family gatherings are always nice.May be it's rear in your part of the world,but in our culture it's not like that.When we celebrate we call all of our relatives.Even in any function like birthday,marriage party we invite all of our family member.I can see you enjoyed that a lot.You also meet with some of your relatives who are new to you.That was nice.People from quite place they are mentally in peaceful condition every where in the world.Happy family time and wish you this kinds of family time more in your life.
