Familes

DH is a twin, so they are very close, and we see them at least once a week. We see MIL and other BIL at least once a week as well, he is pretty close to his Aunty (and I am too, she's great) and one or 2 cousins.

My family are doted throughout the (mostly) South Island, and I try catch up with them as often as I can. Am really close to a few of my Aunty and Uncles, probably more close to them than any cousins. My Grandparents all (3of them) live in the same town and I try to catch up with them as often as possible - I have a close relationship with my Nan (mum's mum), she is awesome!!!!

Hmmm well close to my Mum I actually see her everyday, but that could be because she lives in the granny flat down stairs ,
I'd love to see more of my big siter but she lives in OZ they were over for Christmas and I miss her soooo much.
Other than that most of my side live in England so I really don't know them. I have two cousins here on Dad's side but never see them.
DH on the other hand is pretty close to all his Bro's and his Mum, his Mum and three of his Bro's are all dotted around west Auckland and one lives on the shore. They all have kids so we all get together heaps at his mum's house or the beach/pools etc if one is going somewhere we usually let the others know and most of them turn up. It's really cool for all the kids.
He also has a really close female cousin who moved to Ak and lived with his Mum for a while and we are really good friends with her. In fact I would consider her as one of my best friends.
