This is what happens when my brother and his wife decide to take photos of their children for a Christmas card. First the children cry and refuse to smile. Then the baby spits-up. Then the mother takes off the baby's Christmas outfit to be washed. Then the diaper-clad baby gets balanced on her father's hand like a broom. Apparantly my brother's been practicing this for months.
It's kind of freaky.
I went home to visit my parents last weekend, and when I saw my brother he handed me an envelope.
"What's this? Money?" I asked.
"No," he responded, "It's your Christmas card."
"You're not going to mail it to me?"
"What? You're standing right here."
"Fine," I said (but secretly I was annoyed. I love getting mail.)
So anywho, somehow my blogger site template got all screwed up, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I switched to a new one. This one's a bit more elaborate.

Tell me this is part of the picture for the Xmas card. That would be kind of hardcore. And something my wife will never allow.
It could depict a Festivus feat of strength, though, I could argue. I'll keep you posted.
And, hey, your site has color! Nice.
He's cute...let me ask you most people would ask where he got the nose...etc...its from the father...the hair its from...the mother...what may have you contributed to that bundle of joy...???or anything attributable to you???
A magic, nekkid baby in an un-made bed. Very festive.
Trevor - I wish. Had the Christmas card also contained the 'airing of grievences,' I would have been even more delighted. Instead they went with a photo of the two little ones fake smiling and hugging each other while dressed in matching Christmas outfits. The picture is adorable, but not nearly as compelling as the baby balancing act.
othur-me - Why are people so uptight about that kind of stuff?
major eflat - this baby looks like my side of the family (dark eyes, dark hair and similar features). My brother's wife is blond haired, blue-eyed.
I wonder how many times he dropped the baby on it's head before he got the trick down.
Hey, I was catching up on some reading and actually laughed out loud at one of your comments.
Flipping off someone while wearing mittens does have to be the most useless action of any day... and I love it.
