Day 3 of I'm Thankful For

Today we are thankful for extended family.  To us this means, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. (Special mention to friends that have become family, you know who you are!)

These are people that know how goofy we are or even if we become distant at some point, will always be your family.  Especially cousins, cousins are your first friends.  They teach you so much about life at every family gathering.

Blood truly is thicker then water and there is something nice about knowing there is a large group behind you that supports you.  You may not talk to them regularly or even seem them regularly, but you feel in your heart they are there.  They will always be a part of you. 

This is a picture of Magnolia and Maxwell with their Uncle Jason, Aunt Katherine, Cousin JJ and their Daddy.  A wonderful example of how even though our family may be far they are always with us in our minds and hearts.
