No matter how you feel about your extended family or family gatherings you will be attending. This is because now the ultimate reason for attending family gatherings is for your children to have the time of their lives with their cousins. Little kids love their cousins. I’m not being cute or exaggerating here. Cousins are like celebrities for little kids. If little kids had a People magazine, cousins would be on the cover. Cousins are the barometers of how fun a family get-together will be. Are the cousins going to be there? Fun! — Jim Gaffigan
These cousins are so close, even though they live three hours apart. They just light up when they see each other and from what I could see, picked up without losing a beat from the last time they were together. We did a session for the boys when Grant was a year old and Benjamin was a newborn, so their moms wanted to repeat the ‘cousins session’ theme. I was thrilled to find daisies in bloom in my favorite field, so we headed for the flowers to take some pictures. Sophia was a bit shy at first, but riding my new vintage tricycle brought her out of her shell and she was dancing and singing in the field before long. Mia was a different story. She clearly loved Sophia, but wasn’t too sure about me : ). Then along came her brother, and even better, her grandpa, and they brought out the smiles. Snuggling with mom and dad was popular with her, too.
Thanks, H. family for letting me spend some time with you…I loved watching your kids play and seeing the close bonds you all have!
