In Threes

It was not a rare thing that my cousins and I received the exact same outfits to wear for different occasions. I suppose maybe it was just was just easier to pick up three of the same little outfit than different ones. I always kind of enjoyed dressing the same as my cousins though. They were blonde haired and blue-eyed and I was brown and brown. I guess I thought that if we were wearing the same outfit, that people would just think we were all sisters. I had always wanted a sister. I loved my brothers, but I always thought about what it would be like to have a sister. My cousins were the closest thing that I had. I got so excited about going to see them at my Grandma and Grandpa's house that I would hardly be able to get to sleep the night before. We would have so much fun playing on the farm, and when we had to drive away from Grandma's house, I would sit in the back of the van, looking out the back window and start to cry. I would wish for any little reason that we could turn around and go back in and play for just a little more. Even now that we are all over 20, we are still receiving the same outfits and now that we are not all the same size, we more often receive the same gift. This just makes everything easier for us when we have to open gifts one by  one. When we notice that all of our gifts are the same size and shape, we are allowed to all open them at once.
