End of School Cousin Party

It's not every year that all the cousins are around on the last week of school, 
so we called them together for Rollkuchen and watermelon. 
Makenna was the first one here, so she was happy to help. 

We set up between the basketball court and the firepit.

They sat however they wanted to. 
We do need more chairs, but that is a topic for another post. 


On full tummies they went right back to shooting baskets. 
It is so good to see these cousins enjoy time together after being apart for 19 months. 
They have both grown so much! 

The net was a bit high for Koen and Jack,

but that did not seem to deter them at all! 

Meanwhile, the girls asked for my phone and when I got it back 
there was a lengthy photo shoot session on it. =)
They had taken turns playing photographer.
So fun!

This one, with other poses to choose from, made me laugh. 


One of the girls commented to me that Natalie is the glue that makes these relationships stick.
Whatever it is, it's a cousin-love that can't be taken for granted
and fills my heart with joy.
