Just to give you a visual, this is who I’m spending my weekend with (photo c. 1987; I’m the goofball in the middle, and my cousins Carrie and Tina are on either side).
There’s been lots of food…
some good cousin bonding time…
toasts with delicious liqueur-things I’ve never heard of (Amarula?)…
some extremely awesome first-birthday presents (Joe Fresh and Roots baby clothing FTW)…
and singing, of course.
(The late-night family jam sessions are proving to be a little too much for the next generation.)
