Aunt Carolyn's party

The reason that my entire family came to the Cape this year was to celebrate the 50th anniversary of my aunt leading a life of religious service. She joined the convent 50 years ago, and my mother remembers being 9 years old and crying because her big sister was leaving home! There was a big party for her on the Cape, and there were no tears this time!

We all have such a great time together. The food was great, weather was perfect, and company was so much fun! Here are the 9 Sullivan cousins:
My cousin, Jen, loves to read to the kids. She's quite the rock star as far as Mary Beth is concerned!

Mary Beth and Emma are 2nd cousins. Their birthdays are just 2 months apart. They had a wonderful time together!



All the second cousins...so far!
My cousin, Deirdre.
