The other night a cousin of mine went at home to get us, all of us, my parents, my kids, my brother and his family.. lol they just arrived from overseas - they are seafarers like my brother as well. They just arrived and made some little gathering and cooked some food for dinner..
so at 7 pm we went there and it was a little family reunion. These two cousins of mine are of the same age as my brother, over 8 years older than me, all boys and seafarers.
They cooked some fish, pasta and desserts. As we were eating, i cannot help but bring back memories of us in the old days. I was their little princess actually as i am the only girl among the cousins, yes all boys!! they would play basketball back then and i would tag along, and yes they would let me tag along. They were laughing at the memory too because they would all agree that i shouted too much back then when they were playing basketball - i was their little cheer leader! hahaha...
then that night, my brother and my cousin started playing basketball-- but not the real basketball, they were playing basketball through their PSP! I could not help but grin at how much have changed yet i am so glad at the gathering as i thought the bond was lost but seeing us together again was such a great feeling.
nostalgic mode.

I'm glad that you have a great memories of your childhood with your cousins. I don't have so much fun with my cousins and don't have good memories too. Our parents are stay away from their siblings that's why even though I knew them now but we don't have too much bonding when we are kids.

This is a great time of year for getting together with family. I am so glad you have great memories of them and that you still all feel the closeness of family times.

Family gatherings are always the best. It brings a lot of good memories back and it may even strengthen the bond between families. It's a wonderful feeling being with them and it's even better seeing the kids bond with their cousins too. Family gatherings also bring out the child in us. I also relieve the childhood fun we have every time we have a family gathering. =)

How nice to be the little princess of your family back then!
Gatherings of relatives can indeed be a venue of recollections such as those when we were kids. We couldn't help but laugh at the enjoyment we have when we were just kids playing and playing.
And you are right, when that happens one cannot help but be nostalgic of the happy times during those days when we have no worries and simply play and eat is what we have in mind.
At least, you can escape once in a while through those nostalgic moments.
