Cousins

"Cousins are friends who will love you forever."  ~Constance Richards

One of my most precious Christmas memories is getting together with my cousins every year.  On the Parmer side there are thirteen of us (10 girls and 3 boys).  We are spread out around the lone star state (with one studying in England) so we don't see one another often enough!  Amanda is getting married in early August so we look forward to celebrating with her.  Here are some priceless photos of us at Christmas in past years.

Somewhere around 1986:

1990-ish:



Last night we got together and here is Memaw with all grandchildren (& spouses) in attendance and great grandchildren.  What a fun bunch :)

Here is Memaw with her three great grandchildren (Owen 14 mos, Anaiah 5 mos & Emma 4 yrs).  What a handful :)

We also got a few cute photos of Emma & Anaiah with their new matching Aggie overalls.
