The best part of Christmas this year was I got to go home and see my family! I couldn't believe how much I missed my brothers. Also, I can't get over how much they have grown up. I know I sound like a proud mamma when I say this, but I seriously remember when they were tiny! It was so much fun to hang around with my teenage little bros during the break. We had a great time watching movies, eating junk food, playing cards, driving around Cedar, and pretty much wasting time together.
This is Calvin. He's 14. Are you enjoying his super sweet hair-do, because I totally am! Does it remind you of anything? Here's a clue:
Hahahaha. By the by, I chose this picture because I think he looks particularly floofy, and also kinda ugly. Anyway, we were teasing poor Calvin about his "Edward hair," even though I actually liked Calvin's sense of style. He's a pretty awesome little dude!
The Brown side of our family traditionally has a bingo night and white elephant gift exchange every Christmas. Most of the fun for us happens beforehand since we've historically been rather creative with our white elephants. Besides, what with most of the cousins being a bit too young to really understand most of the humor, we usually just laugh at the weird crap we manage to dump on our poor aunt Teri! (It really freaks her out to get stuck with random crap.) I don't honestly remember what most of the stuff was, but this one was a winner! Please note the super creepy, moderately stained, hot pink princess chair right behind Mitchell. That thing was disgusting.
I guess this is the most hard-core apron out there. Actually, it was some kind of fluid-protection suit. However, we couldn't get over the back-side of this beauty -
- Mostly because it didn't have one!! Yeah, that does you a lot of good. Hopefully you don't sit on anything while you're "fluid protecting" yourself. Also, my brother's a total creeper and he has a gas mask and an old man mask on. I guess he puts that mask in his car, and will randomly slap it on to scare his fellow motorists... Call me crazy, but I totally get it!
Also, it wouldn't be a Christmas blog without me posting a picture that gets someone into trouble. Namely the dog who sheds like mad, and isn't allowed inside because of that nasty habit of hers. She is a snuggly little buddy, though!
While we're on the subject of dogs, this is Blake's roommate's dog Wrigley.
He's a boxer puppy, and I couldn't get over how cute he was! Blake couldn't get over how stupid he looked in this sweater (that was a gift from the roommate's girlfriend). I have to say that I'm on a dog kick because I really, really want to buy one.
And those are all the pictures I took! Christmas Eve my brothers were still out shopping for each other, then we enjoyed our usual CE fondu. I drew my brother Mitchell for the secret santa gift exchange, so he received a beautiful ukulele. After that we had fun attempting to mimic Tiny Tim on our ukes.
Yeah... that dude is a freak. The brothers like this song because it's on Sponge Bob. Go figure.
