Lovin' Cousins

the other day i made a three hour drive...

with my two little darlins' and my parents...

to dine on homemade chicken and noodles

and visit my incredible family.

{me and my cousins - anna and judy}

i am very lucky.

my extended family - on my mom's side - is the best.

they are fun, loving, and know the importance of family.

i don't see them often enough...

but, when i do get to see them -

i am reminded how much i love them...

all of the great memories i have with them...

and how lucky i am to have them.

i have ten cousins. we were missing two - plus my brothers.

we all have kids of our own now.

i think there are 25 great grandchildren...

and 22 of them were there playing.

{photos to come.}

i am so glad i made the drive.

so glad i have such an awesome family.

and so glad my kids will have great

memories with all their cousins too.
