My grandfather's Christmas tree with presents
So this requires some explanation. Every year, we have a "gag gift". It started with my cousin Jimmy (pictured) saying he wanted "green stuff" for Christmas. Obviously, money. So my mom gave him a box with all sorts of green items wrapped in tissue paper. And at the very bottom was some money.
So, this tradition. Usually it's played out on my brother. One year was a huuuge box, with a smaller box inside, with a smaller box inside that, etc. with a gift card in the last box. Haha. Then, last year my uncle didn't have time to put anything together. So, this year, my uncle set up "the poor man's Amazing Race" involving my brother and Jimmy, racing to find their presents. This is Jimmy reading one of the clues. (And by the way, I so would've kicked both their asses in this race... I had to help them figure out the order if you were travelling from Providence to Omaha, Nebraska.)
My cousin Andrea. This was when my mom was trying to figure out how to work a digital camera.
The family, minus my sister and Jimmy:
Scott, my mom, me (behind her), my grandpa, Auntie Debbie, Uncle Chris behind her, cousin Andrea in front of her, cousin Theresa next to her, cousin Joe in front of her, and Uncle Jasiu and Aunt Diane.
I got size SIX corduroy pants from Old Navy for Christmas. This is my ass in them.
And this is the rest of me in them. Surprisingly, I could still button them after way too much food last night and today.
And this is the quilt my mom made me.
The back:
And my mom made an entire bucket full of margaritas, I've had three (and two glasses of wine) and Jenna's coming over to help me finish the rest. Haha.
