not say not nice, just that the pix are what we call "emotional baggage" .. pictures that don't really mean anything to anybody else except the ones who are directly related to them.

all i see are shots of people i don't know, and the angles and compositions are not interesting enough to hold my attention. i'm not particularly hot about the layout either.

but it's a sweet thought that you take the time and deliberation to document your joyous family celebration

The flash part is ok...Not too harsh.

For this kind of event shots, you might want to go slightly wider and record events happening, for example, like Grandma cuddling your baby.. Uncle give Auntie a loving kiss, kids playing on their own while adults are engross with some thing...

Because its shots are too tight, its hard for viewers to know whats going on...

Also for table group shots, you can actually arrange the group so they are not so scattered and messy...

But nice layout! and lastly, what I said is not important as long as all these meant something to you.

Just my 2 cents...

thanks for the feedbacks. Need them to help me improve. It's the first time I'm taking photos like that for dinners, all feedbacks and thoughts given do helped me to improve.

Thanks. Will keep trying and improving (i hope.)
