This weekend we had the real privilege of heading back north to Manchester to celebrate my baby cousin becoming 30 ;it's not for a few weeks yet as she's a Christmas Eve babe but wanted to celebrate when we could all get together.
I can't believe she's going to be 30 already! I rememebr the moment aunty Glen came to see us in Bolton to say she was having a baby I was soooo excited. Then came the wonderful yearly trips to Pontins and then Butlins. We've lived close by and far apart but always stayed close and now have the joy of having her as Elijah s Godmummy. It was a real joy to go on Saturday with the family to stay with her and celebrate and hopeFully she will forgive her godson for waking her up so early ! Sleeps over rated anyway! One of the most exciting parts of the weekend was seeing the venue where Kym and Helen are going to get married next year so I get to gain another cousin and couldn't wish for a better one...one my boys adore just as much as their 2nd cuz.
Families are funny things but they are given to us for a reason, to help us to support us to guide and strengthen us. I know they are not always easy and things aren't always straight forward for many but I feel it's really important to try and embrace them , make time for them where we can .
As for me a big birthday is creeping ever so closely ideas of what to do very much welcome !!!
