i have been so blessed to have the most wonderful older cousin. dion was already 12 when i was born and i have always looked up to her. she seemed to have it all worked out, found her lifelong love when she was still in high school (they are still very happily married!) and was good at everything, always impeccably dressed, with perfect hair and nails and to top it off, is one hell of a mum! plus, she is just as ocd as me, so that makes her even better in my books. i just love her!
i felt so very special to be invited to celebrate with her on saturday night as she and her husband had their joint 50th. even more so that i was allowed to help by bringing along some desserts (brownies and lemon slice) for this amazing dessert table!
i was introduced to all her friends as "my favourite cousin" which made me feel even more special. she has always had a special bond with my mother, having spent a lot of time with her growing up and she was all smiles chatting with the two of us even though it had been quite some time since we had last seen her.
but in all honesty, my favourite part of the night was taking selfies with her and my other cousins that were there - her two sisters. family over everything right? it was a wonderful night and so so good to catch up after far too long apart. ❤
