COUSINS

It has been a hard year to have get togethers with cousins with everyone trying hard to stay healthy!  But, as the pictures show, we found plenty of opportunities to be together, mostly outdoors!

What a year!  It really hasn't been easy knowing when to and when not to get together (because of Covid and cancer :( ).... but I'm glad we were still able to make some things happen!  We are lucky to have so many cousins so close in age and so close by!
