Anastassatos Part-ae 2007








Well, it's been 50+ years since my Great Grandmother Irene Anastassatos and Papou Christos left Greece to call America home. And now their family of 10 has blossomed into 78+. We have yearly gatherings thanks to Pam and Angelo, and their daughters Kim, Kerrie and Mia. This year Christina had lots of fun with her cousin Addy and they played crawling under the tables for 3 hours and scoping out the cigarette machine. Maria was trying to walk and face planted on the floor, my POOR baby! She bled for 5 seconds, it was terrible and I felt like crying for her. (because she stopped after a minute) What troopers I have. My meatballs were the HIT of the party and there were like 3 leftover. Everyone thought Margot made them... but it was all me... and my oven and costco... Kerrie and Jessie celebrated their marriage a little early with some tasty cake. I finally got to meet Lisa's girlfriend Pam and her son from Oregon... fantastic! We're excited to have them back in Reno. Thea Maria ate up her namesake Maria... literally, there were lots of kisses. And it snowed!! Fun greek times!!
