Cousins

December has been full of fun for the kids. They have enjoyed seeing their cousins who they don't get to see very often. We visited the girls in a cold cold cold location. Their blood is thickening since moving from Florida. They have gone from flip flops and bathing suits to snow boots and snow bibs. The youngest had never seen snow before since she had lived in Florida her entire life. It snowed 12 inches on her birthday. She absolutely loves it!

The oldest is growing up way too fast. I remember when she was just a little tot. We use to play Barbies for hours. This time we had fun using a straightening iron on our hair and getting tickled at silly things.

It was great spending time with them and playing in the snow together.

Next we got to spend time with some more cousins. It is fun to see how they interact with each other. The girls stick together and do crafts. The oldest LOVES sports so he has fun hanging out with his uncle. The little one just runs around and has fun with everyone.

The hats were Aunt Suz's gift to all the cousins this year. I had so much fun picking them out based on their personalities. A got a cat one because she loves animals. E got a stylish one but not too flashy. E got a smiley face because she is typically always happy. T got a mohawk one because boys like silly things like that.

I LOVE being an aunt. I was an aunt before becoming a mom and the kids hold a special place in my heart!

Happy New Year!
