Cousins (‘Phamili’ Day again!)

These two were in my post for 4 years ago tomorrow, http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2011-12-29
A third of 4-years-ago's foursome was here today, but I didn't get the three of them together. Clare's dad would have gotten that shot. Sigh. I need to have “shot lists” for gatherings like this!

It seems like these are truly happy occasions--their faces just exude joy!

@cejaanderson The four cousins are pretty close in age and seem to just pick-up-where-they-left-off on those rare occasions when they are able to be together. All very different young women, but lots of shared experiences with Grandma & Grandpa!

It's funny how that is, lives go their own way but whenever the opportunity comes up to get together things continue as though there was no time between visits. I guess that's the family bond
