Flashback Friday Prompt #12

Last week was such fun reading about everyone's siblings, I decided to continue with the family theme, this time focusing on extended family.

Tell about any grandparents, cousins, or other extended family that was special to you growing up. Did they live near you or some distance away? Do you have any particular childhood memories (good OR bad!) of times spent with your grandparents? With your cousins? Did you spend holidays with them? At whose house did you generally gather? Do you still keep up with cousins, aunts & uncles, etc.? Did your paternal relatives and maternal relatives know and get along with each other?

Remember, the questions are just to spur your memories; you don't have to specifically address them, although you are welcome to!

Whether it's Family Feud or Family Fun, post your flashback tomorrow and come back here to link up!
