I am blessed to have grown up near my cousins. We were best buddies even though I was the oldest - we played Barbies together and danced like Madonna when we were kiddos.
And though we have grown up (and slightly apart), there is still always that comfortableness that come with being in a family together.
My kids LOVE to play with their cousins - they are like add-on siblings to play and have sleep-overs with.
It warms my heart to see my kiddos with their cousins.
And even though we live far apart and see each other only a few times a year, my kids love spending time with their cousins.
Especially these 3 - the youngest 3 (until last week!!).
When they were together this summer and over the Holidays, they loved running around together in a pack, causing mischief.
And these two little boys - so close in age - didn't quite understand how to share - there were constant battles for toys, fussing over ownership, and general natural competitiveness. We just laughed about it.
Cause we KNOW they will be BEST BUDS as they grow up.
Sis is the oldest of the Darling clan - This past week added 2 more cousins to the family too! A GIRL & a BOY!! Just more cousins to love on!
My hope is the hugs & kisses continue and they grown up valuing how special it is to be surrounded by cousins.
