My sibs
Day 11 is about my siblings. I have 10 brothers and sisters. 7 sisters and 3 brothers. I am number 5 in that line up. It is 3 girls, a boy, me, twin girls, 2 boys then 2 girls. Us 8 girls are closer to each other then my 3 brothers are. Growing up there was always someone to play with, never a shortage there. Vacations were camping and traveling. We played kick the can, told spooky stories, hiked, put on plays and shows. Doing dishes by hand was a major task with so many kids. Hand me downs were the norm to wear, well not my older brother LOL. I actually loved my older sisters clothes, they were hip and cool. Most of my siblings live in AZ with the rest of us scattered across the country. I recently moved farther away then just a few hour drive and it is hard to not be so close. But even those of us sisters that have moved away have stayed close to one another. We know we can count on one another to be there for us. As we get older, we realize more and more the value of each other which just draws us closer. I am grateful to come from such a large family and would not trade any of them for anything, yes even my gnarly brothers.
