Kelsey and Tanner

These are cousins, Kelsey and Tanner. Kelsey is 4 1/2 months younger than Tanner. You can tell that they love each other a lot. Here's a few flash back photos of them. This is in May 2003! Kelsey was only nine months old. 
Here they are in December 2005.
And here they are, being silly, in June 2006

Here's a picture and story that I stole off of Grandpa Shumate's Blog. What sweet kids!

We all went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Reagan's birthday. Kelsey and Tanner (both are five) are inseparable as friends and just love being with each other. All of the grandkids were given a cup of tokens, which are used for the rides at Chuck E. Cheese. Kelsey and Tanner went off, hand in hand, to spend their tokens. They came back to eat birthday cake a while later and were counting their tokens. Together they had seven token left. They asked me if I had any, which I did not (what grandfather would keep tokens from his grandchildren?). They had realized that if they divided up their remaining tokens, one would have three and one would have four. A few minutes later Tanner came to me with a token and said, “Here grandpa, take this token because we don’t want to fight over it.”

This is soo cute! It must be so fun having cousins that are so attached to each other. I know we have a few friend/cousin pairs, but I don't think they're that close to each other. What wonderful memories Kelsey and Tanner will have in the years to come.
