Growing up in a Small Family

I've been asked several times how I felt about growing up in a small family, and I have to say, "I loved it!"

My favorite thing about my family is that we have all stayed very close together. We all live close by, and we all attend every little event we have. We're always there for weddings, parties, baby blessings, church talks, etc. We are all very involved in each others lives.

I'm not saying this doesn't happen when you have a big family. Just saying that this is how my family is.

I will admit, that when I was little, I wanted a little sister. But now I know I couldn't have shared my Dad with anyone. I am a huge Daddy's girl, and I love being the only girl in the family for that reason.

I've also found that my family talks a lot. I didn't really notice how much we talk until Craig pointed it out to me.

I'm not sure if this is all because my family has stayed small, but I really have enjoyed being in a small family. I don't feel like I missed out on anything :)
