Cousin Time!

Great Grandma Smith passed away.  She had just turned 89 and had lived a long great life. Near the end she wasn't doing well so it was a blessing when she passed away.  With the funeral happening we got to see a lot of cousins and family that we wouldn't have gotten to see otherwise. We got to see my brother Jarom and his family that live in Germany, which was an awesome surprise because we didn't think we would see them the whole time they lived there.  It was so fun for the kids to spend some time with cousins that they don't get to see enough.

 Jerry brought his walkie talkies and he and Russ had the best time playing with them.  They used them the entire time pretty much nonstop.

 Little Freddy was just about the cutest thing ever.  I sure love that boy and am sad that we wont get to see him again until he is big.

 Annie and Lucy were little buddies together. they share such a love of baby dolls it was really cute to see them playing together.  I am sure it will only get more so as they get older.

                                                Here were all the kids at the viewing. 

 It was hard to say goodbye to our cousins because they all love each other so much and get along so well.  I think it was especially hard for Russ.  He just loves his boy cousins so much.
