I have a really large extended family that actually somewhat keeps in touch . . . and I got to see a few of them this afternoon.
My cousin's wife threw her a surprise birthday party today and I took Bebe. My cousin grew up in Hawaii and her wife flew her parents here as her gift. On top of seeing my Aunt & Uncle for the first time since 9/11 (they were here visiting and were stuck on the mainland when the airports all closed) I got to see some of my other cousins and their kids. Most of my cousins on this side of the family are actually 3rd or 4th cousins . . . but I love them dearly.
Best part of my day was Bebe playing with her cousins . . . watching my little girl with her Hawaiian cousins (her 6th cousins) was seriously awesome. I'm so lucky to have such great family in my life!
