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✨
