Cousins!

This past weekend we were able to visit my cousin, Joel, and his family. They live about 2 1/2 hours away and I think it is wonderful! We filled our weekend with lots of fun, and made sweet memories.

All lined up for a little show before bed:

 Back porch fun while waiting for breakfast to cook. I think this photo is very typical: Bella and her cousin, Cielee, running around, Jacob shooting a gun, and Will donning a hat in all his cuteness. 

 My cousin got up with the girls before 6am and made a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls. They were absolutely delicious. The girls picked green, blue, and yellow for frosting colors... and got to frost them, too! 

Lily and Addie:

 Cielee, Joel, and Bella:

 Will was very interested in the frosting:

I think it is such a blessing to have family nearby, and an extra bonus that the kids get to know their extended cousins, too. I am thankful for weekends like these!
