I actually have no idea how many cousins I have - my dad doesn't really talk to his brothers so I've never met that side of the family. Most of my cousins on that side were adults when I was born anyway so it's not like we'd have been massively close.

I have eight cousins on my mum's side though ranging in age from 25 to 1, so that makes a pretty nice sized family gathering when we have them, especially when you add in my cousin's two kids.

I'm an only child and The Boy only has one sister, so our children will be a bit bereft on the cousin side. Family do's will be tiny, unless I drag in my extended family.
