Some quick fixes we suggest:

  1. Avoid copying chunks from the question: instead of writing “family celebration” it would have been better to specify the event in the introduction.
  2. Avoid run-on sentences and use short forms: [ I ] thought I’d drop a line
  3. Be careful with prepositions: meet her [after] a million years.
  4. Avoid passive structures: tasks were divided among the members
  5. Use the correct pronoun: …games we played. THEY were fantastic.
  6. Use more informal register: Send my regards to your mom > say hi to your mom
