My sister and I are two years apart. Between the two of us, we have 5 kids. I have a daughter who is six, she has a son who is six, I have a son who is 4, she has a son who is 3 and I have a daughter who is 3. Suffice it to say, when the cousins get together, it is C-R-A-Z-Y!! We wouldn’t have it any other way. Here they all are, laughing together on the tire swing. These photos make me smile!
