Cousin-ness

How can these two cousins be 6 already?

Aren't they supposed to still be these small squishy babies, the first of the grandbabies?

How can they already be almost done with Kindergarten?

 Wasn't it just yesterday when we could hold both of them in our laps at the same time and pose them for a million+ pictures and dress them like little dolls?

How can they already read and play baseball and have sleepovers and be.so.big?

We loved this particular afternoon of celebrating Layton and just being cousins...

...because believe it or not, we can't get them to pose for these cute little pictures anymore...and life gets too busy to spend as much cousin time together as we used to.

But believe me, they are still just as precious as ever in our family.

And we can't forget the baby girl cousin :) Yea, you, Baby Brenna!

 This is one of my favorite pictures from 4 years ago. Albany had told Layton to hold baby Brenna and this is the shot she got....

 She was so loved by the big two-year-olds!

 And is still adored by the now six-year-olds!

We are so excited to add a new baby cousin in the next few days!

This may be the last picture of the era of three cousins...and then we will have a new little one to pose and squish and love and adore!

Happy Birthday, Layton! You will always be such a special part of our lives.
