For Papa and Grandmama!

Shortly after our return from Ireland, not only did we have Bubbly Sarah with us, giving the girls her shoes, but Aunt 'Shell and cousins arrived. 9 of the 10 cousins were together. Unfortunately, getting 9 cousins together also means pictures that look like these....
Oh, how I tried. This past week when I was looking at these pictures, I could only laugh.

I am grateful for pictures like these. Because it means the cousins are laughing and enjoying the company of each other. They were just too busy trying to fill every minute they had with one another. They new their time together would be short. It means they are cousins, they don't see each other as girls or boys. Which is good thing since our cousins consist of only girls! They hold their own with the hockey playing, rambunctious, wild boys they find in Kansas! Cousins are the next best thing to siblings!
