Merry Cousins


So these are pictures of Leah with all of her cousins. Above is the Schultz side of the family...Rylee, Leah, Shelby, Lexi, Bradyn and Justin. They are all quite a bit older than her, but she LOVED spending time with them and had all their names down by the time our Christmas celebration was over. In the picture to the left is Leah with her Myerscough cousins...Colby and Macy. Leah is enamored with Macy. She can't get enough of her. It's pretty great to see them play together and it's even more fun when we get to see her play with all her extended cousins.


Growing up I was very close to most of my cousins and sometimes I can't help but feel like Leah is missing out, living so far away from family. But maybe that makes the time that they get to spend together even more special. I love going home for the holidays or anytime really, and I always wish that there was more time to spend with my cousins. But the holidays were chaotic and they FLEW by and time got away from us. Next time we go home we will definitely be trying to arrange more "play-time". When we were home for Thanksgiving we got to see Tara and her son Jameson, Tiffany and her 2 kids Preston and Brooklyn, and Paul and his 2 kids Spencer and Tyler...I definitely need more of that.

We had a very Merry Christmas, full of Family and Fun. And while it was chaotic going from New Jersey to Illinois to Minnesota to Wisonsin, back to Illinois and then home again....we wouldn't change a thing. What a wonderful opportunity for us to spend time with those that we love. I cherish every day we get to spend with family because they are too few and far between.
So thank you to ALL of our family for making the holiday's so special and may we continue to be blessed in the New Year!
