Does you family ever have reunions?

Nothing formal. I grew up with a weekend house on a lake with family around on every side. So, while there was not formal family reunion, there were 6-7 other family houses with people there every weekend. Labor Day weekend, it always seemed like everyone was there.

For my dad's side - Not formally. If we go down in the summer there's a huge cook out. People started going away for thanksgiving so my mamaw doesn't get too stressed feeding 60+ people. 

My mom's side hasn't gotten all together since both grandparents died. That is one messed up family... I'm the baby grandkid so I have no idea what went down.

We had a family reunion 10+ years ago with relatives from my maternal grandmother's side of the family. Other than that, we see each other at family events (weddings, etc) and keep in touch via Facebook.

My dad's side did not all that long ago for one of the older patriarchs, for lack of a better term, 90th (?) birthday. 

My mom's side did about eight years ago or so.

My mom's dad's family has had a few reunions.  Nothing recently.  The first was probably about 20 years ago, and then maybe about 5 years after that, when some relatives from Italy were visiting.

My mom's mom's family has had one every year for the past 34 years.  There's only 1 or 2 that we've missed, but it's only about 45 minutes from where we live (it's in the same location every year).

There was one on each side of the family when I was in elementary school.  But, nothing since.

Not really. On my mom's side there are some cousins who throw a get together every couple of years, but it's always small. I'm not sure how we're cousins, I just know we are... :-X My aunt and uncle and grandfather usually come.
