with our 9 children year after year and our children cousins became like beloved brothers and sisters. Yes, there is a price to pay for that kind of family closeness and I'll be eternally grateful for the welcoming attitude of that sweet family. They enriched our life!
We saw our cousin, Brian, for the first time in several years. Fun to see him and his cute children again. Angela, Heather and Kara catching up!
Josh and his girlfriend, Leah, came for dinner. It was great to meet her.
Brimley's cousin, Lauren, came from Tennessee to join their family for the holiday.
She was a great sport and it was fun having her.
Kara's sister, Kaytlin, spent the weekend with us. She attends BYU Idaho but is working in Tuscon this track. Great to see her again. She'll be back with us soon in the cold north country.
