Cousins

Our kids love their cousins though they don't get to see each other as often as they would like. This weekend my younger sister and her family were in town so we decided to combine our birthdays. It wasn't fancy but it was fun! Out of 12 cousins 7 of them celebrate their birthday between June and early September.

Natalie, Molly, and Brandon spent a lot of time the few days before making decorations, cards, and anything else they could think of to add to the festivities. They came up with some great ideas!

Happy Birthday Cousins!

Jed had his day in June. For fun Natalie and I

made cupcakes that were supposed to look like a beach.

Allison got to celebrate a second time for her July birthday.

Mia celebrates her special day this week! (She was just out of the pool in this picture.)

Nathan opening some presents ahead of schedule for his late August birthday.



Natalie is 12 in August.


Molly is officially a year older in September.

I know that's only 6 cousins, Jimmy couldn't make it today. It was good to be together and to be able to share the excitement of another year. It seems time passes so quickly in each of their lives.
