first cousins
Aunts' and uncles' children
First cousins are the children of one's aunt or uncle—people who share a set of grandparents.
The relationship is distinguished from second cousins (who share great-grandparents) and cousins once removed (different generations).
My first cousins and I spent summers together at our grandparents' farm.
Often shortened to simply "cousins" when context is clear.
