Cousins

As I mentioned in my Thanksgiving post, I love to watch Zach, and now Charlie, have fun with their cousins. That means, of course, that I took too many pictures of them...

My brother enjoyed mocking me for going outside and raking a big pile of leaves* for the kids to jump around in, just so I could take pictures. But they had a good time, and I did too!

* I don't recommend trying to make a leaf pile out of willow tree leaves. You rake and rake and rake, but you're left with a sad flat pile. If only my parents hadn't already taken care of the maple leaves...
