it has been a very social weekend! Today we caught up with our extended family. When we were children, our extended family was very close. With my nana as a lynch pin we would regularly come together to celebrate everyones birthday and special events. Even when Nan passed, we kept up this tradition, often seeing each other over a number of consecutive weekends. As we grew older and our lives all changed, these became less and less regular and now we hardly ever see each other, some of them haven't even seen my twins.
Today was a special event where we came together to celebrate a significant birthday and it was really nice. There is a heap of little kids although they weren't all there. As my boys don't have any actual cousins, we call the children of my cousins cousins. Sounds very greek/italian I know, but it is also nice to know where you came from. One 'cousin' is a similar age to Benji and Spencer and has the same red hair. It was a nice relaxing afternoon and real celebration of family.
(the boys were tired and very happy to be home!!)
