3rd Birthday, 3rd Cousin

I hung out with the fam yesterday to celebrate the 3rd birthday of my niece, Leila. I also got to meet my 3rd cousin on my Dad’s side, Catherine. That means that we have great-great grandparents in common. I had to look it up on this handy wikipedia cousin chart. Everybody’s family in the Philippines!
