Just Cuz'

I love, love, LOVE, that my children's best friends are their cousins.  Both sides, it doesn't matter, if cousins are going to be there, then no matter what we are doing, it is a party! 

We had lots of opportunities to be with our best friends over the past month, as we celebrated Spud Harvest, Fall, and Halloween.

We started with Spud Harvest, which we have never had before until we moved to Shelley.  On the other hand, our Fillmore cousins are pros at Spud Harvest, having done it all their lives, so the invited us down to Island Park to the family cabin and we had a weekend extraordinaire of games, crafts, movies, and eating.  I so hope this becomes an annual tradition!

Then there was the annual Martineau cousin Halloween party.  We have been doing this for years now and have it down to a science. The kids love this cousin gathering almost as much as Christmas.
