While many of my parents siblings (and my cousins) live around Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Several years ago (at this point it is probably over 15... where did that time go?) my dad's sister and her family settled in south Atlanta only about 45 (or so) minutes from my parents. This Christmas we were able to get together with them which was great, especially since my cousin Laura was there from Arizona (I can't remember how long it has been since I saw her), my cousin Wes and his wife live close by, and my cousin Phil was there as well (we haven't seen all of them since my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary, 5 years ago).
My girls had so much fun with their 2nd cousin, Sarah. I think the "shyness" lasted, oh, 15 seconds?!?! Then the three of them were building marble towers and Lincoln Log houses, and screaming through the house with Phil, the "monster" chasing them. After a delicious Indian lunch, prepared by my Aunt Karen and cousin Laura, we chased the wild ones outside (ok, all of us went outside) and enjoyed catching up in the pleasant weather.
