We have a huge family!
I have
33 first cousins on my dads side
and
7 on my moms side
37 second cousins on my dads side
and
8 on my moms side
there is also a few third cousins on my dads side too.
yes I am so bored I just counted everyone.
Oh and we mostly all live in San Diego ... so it is always impossible to throw a small get together.... unless we want to offend some people.

wow!! how many siblings do your parents have??
i have 5 on my mom's side and 7 on my dad's. i can't even count DH's cousins... his dad's mom had 13 children and his mom's mom had almost as many, as you can imagine, that makes for a LOT of cousins!

@mrs. bird: My dad has 9 and my mom has 4. Everyone got busy :-).
It really made for some awesome memories of Christmas as a kid... but as we have all grown and the family has expanded with marriages and so on - several members just do something smaller with their immediate members.

Yes, I don't even know how many I have! My mom has 11 siblings and my dad has 6! I've only met a handful of cousins!

I have a ton, my mom had 5 siblings and my Dad had 8. I'm sure if I counted it would probably be at least 30 not counting their spouses!
It makes me a little sad that our LO will only have 3 cousins total and one of them is already 24 years old!

My mom only has one sister, and she never had kids. I have 6 cousins on my dads side.
But we're very close to our extended family. Some of our second, third, etc cousins are closer than our first.

Wowza, that's a lot! I only have 2, and they live on opposite sides of the country from me, so I haven't seen them in about 8 years 
DH has 8 or so? I don't know how many, but they all live in our state so we see them more often! I always wanted more cousins!

DH and I have a lot of cousins too, but not even close to your count! :
There are 3 of us from my family + 14 first cousins (dad's side) + 3 first cousins (mom's side).
I think DH has something like 14 on mom's side & 5 on dad's side.

I have a ton of cousins on my dad's side, mostly because I know out to 4th (and even 5th!) cousins. I only know 10 on my mom's side.

My mom is one of 13 kids, so there are lots of cousins. Maybe 25-30 on my mom's side? My dad is one of 4, so on his side there is a more reasonable number-6. At this point, most of my cousins have 1-3 kids of their own. Big family!

9 on my mom's side and 8 on my dads. I don't know how many second cousins, lots.
My girls only have one first cousin, hopefully they'll get a couple more but we are claiming some of their second cousins as straight up cousins as well.
My mother has (or had, they aren't all still alive) 131 first cousins! Mennonite family.
