Whether cousins grow up together in close-knit families or only see each other occasionally, they share common memories through grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
At family gatherings, dozens of cousins entertain each other...and get into trouble together as well. They celebrate birthdays and might even blow out the other’s candles to their cousin’s annoyance.
When their siblings irritate them, cousins become an ally. Sometimes cousins seem more like siblings, especially if they’re only children.
As cousins grow up, watching their children grow reminds them of their youth. And that’s when the cycle begins anew.
The day celebrates every age of cousins – new baby cousins and cousins whose babies are all grown up!
HOW TO OBSERVE
Gather up your cousins and take a photo. Send a text to your cousins who are too far away. If you need to hear their voices, give them a call.
Reminisce over the good times. Be sure to laugh about those things that didn’t seem so funny at the time.
