POV, Russian family gathering

Lots of emotional greetings

The dads around the BBQ, doing "Dad stuff" , nearly burning the Schaschlik

Women from age 30 upwards constantly around the salad bar

Volleyball games

Tennis with everything else but actual tennis balls

Random kid gets hit by an apple

At least one (1) injury 

Running over the fields after "accidentally"  hitting a beestock 

Gossip 💯

That one group of Enzo Gabriel kids in the corner on their phones 

Dad who took over the selfless task of becoming the DJ

Grandma who keeps gifting you knitted stuff

Heated discussions about critial political opinions

Wayyy too loud music

That kid that's basically passed out on one of the chairs

Food food food

The grandma council in the kitchen

Many chair-related party games 

Dancing in one big circle, squealing and whistling

That drunk uncle, getting funky in the dancing-circle 

The dogs, tied to every possible pole

A group of 20+ Balkans roaming the city to walk said dogs

The men returning with stolen logs of wood "if winter" 

Big fire

Basically the whole family lives in the same neighborhood, so the party slowly spreads over to other houses

Kids all sleeping in the same room

Someone brought out the vodka

Noodle and beans salad

Replacing heels with slippers

The kids all playing in their respective groups either outside in the middle of the night or somewhere upstairs

Street fight

People throwing up

Somebody started playing Michael Jackson

That weird cousin that nobody invited shows up

Picking fruits together

The ones that live far away sleep in tents

Drunk mom getting lost

The "German ones" leaving super early

Tupper ware

You leave twice your weight

Swiming in empty trashcans

Everyone doing the "Step-forward-step-backward-lean" dance to 'Monsta' by Culca Candela. As one. A unity

At least one speech where somebody cries 

Those coma-blankets

Running out of alcohol and rushing off to buy new one

Getting scared of your grandma's puppet collection in the dark

The elders constantly wanting to give you money

The boyfriends politely bewildered (and slightly intimidated) at the whole thing

The girlfriends being rather chill abt it

The ancient family member, just sitting there, menacingly 

The whole squad cleaning up the day after

Brunch

Sounds pretty common? 

Well, just add a bit of that Russian ✨flair✨
