Cousins

We've been so lucky to see a lot of the cousins over the last two months! We met for a fun afternoon in the park in April

We had our first Sunday dinner in over a year! 

We got to attend the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point...

And we got to spend Mother's Day together. It's so nice to see our cute, cousins more often again and without masks!
