Cousins

Many of us are lucky to have cousins close in age. I, myself, have three cousins born the same year as me, and a few more just over a year older/younger than myself. These are the cousins that are especially dear to my heart (this will get me in trouble with all my other cousins, who are also dear to my heart!). Therefore, we were so excited when we found out that this Groenwold clan would have two babies born just a few months apart! I started picturing little buddies, BFFs, etc... and all the wonderful times in store for cousins who grow up together... 

... too bad the babies didn't get the memo! 

 ... or maybe they don't like sharing Grandpa!

Thankfully the next day they were getting along much better!

This may be the start of a beautiful friendship. :)

Brynn also had a great time playing cards with her cousin Hayden, although the game may have gotten a little out of hand:

And since we are on the topic of cousins, here are a few oldies of me and my cousins, for your enjoyment. I love looking at these pictures and remembering the fun we had!

Jess and I

I sincerely hope that you have had the opportunity to spend time with cousins who are close in age. There's nothing quite like it!
