My family has always been very close, making it a point to not grow apart. Some of my favorite childhood memories are times spent with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. We have made many memories including vacations (which is a whole new post in itself), monthly birthday parties (which we still do), dressing up, sleep overs and much more. When we all got together, I especially remember three things that my sisters, cousins and I did: play dress up, fight over who got to hold the babies first, and sleep over at my grandparents (waiting for our aunt and uncle to come into town.) Here are just a few pictures of my cousins and those memories.

Left to Right: Melissa, Amy, Tamara
Growing up, we LOVED to dress up and put on a show!
We even conned Nathan into dressing up like a girl!!
My grandma had a big tub filled with old shirts, scarves, dresses and bandannas. We would dress up the younger kids and teach them dances and plays to act out for the adults. Good times... (Pictured: Whitney)
Melissa and Amy dressed up in formal wear. We even decorated the table!
Amy and Tamara holding baby Whitney. My aunt lived in Ash Flat, AR (4 hours away). So every time they came to visit, we would all fight over who got to hold the babies first!
