We have some relatives that if they weren't related to us we would have picked to have as friends anyway. My husband's great Aunt Louise and his second cousin Tony are here visiting and they're awesome. The first time I met them I was a newlywed 18 year old at my husband's family Christmas gathering. I was shy and awkward and ready to run out the door. Aunt Louise turned to me and started reeling me into a conversation till I was laughing with abandonment. I've loved her ever since. We've visited back and forth over the years (they live in Portsmouth, New Hampshire) and it's always wonderful. Amazingly, Aunt Louise is 92! This five generation picture is from the left- cousin Tony, Aunt Louise, my husband James, daughter Kara and her daughter Scarlett in the stroller.
