We are a family

"We are a family like a giant tree branching out towards the sky, we are a family we
are so much more than just you and I. We are a family like a giant tree,
growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free."

This picture of the cousins was taken last December 24, 2004. The cousins are pretty tight and with every family gatherings, we always look forward to it because it's the time we get to bond again, share and make memories, exchange stories & jokes and just being silly. 4 of my cousins live outside the Philippines,so it's hard for them to join every family gatherings here. We don't get to see them as much as we wanted to. So we only get to see them when they spend their vacations or holiday's here,which is not often. This year they are planning to spend Christmas here. We are all excited and it's been 4 years since we last saw them. It will be a very merry Christmas for all of us.
