After getting the pic above, I went around the couch to try to capture the side-angle that demonstrated just how far back Chad's head was leaning (he looked like a Pez dispenser) but he woke up and caught me! Hahaha. So busted.

Chad took over for his dad (Uncle Wayne), and was the first person to fall asleep on the couch after dinner. Hahahah.

The next day was Thanksgiving! My grandparents and my cousins, the Carricks, came up for family dinner at my parent's house. Here's my trying to set the auto-timer on his camera to take a photo of all of us at the dinner table. Every year he sets the timer, presses the shutter, then races all the way around the table and tries to make it to his seat and smile before the picture is taken. He almost NEVER makes it. (Check out Cousin Chad in the background laughing in anticipation of the race). Ok, ready dad?

After dinner we celebrated my cousin Chad's up coming birthday with a cake. "No, you're the man now, dawg!"
chad
I got up to help him out and was told that he didn't need any help "figuring out his own camera, Goddamnit!" So I took some photos of everyone waiting. Hahah.
chad
Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!

Cousins Lindsay and Chad.

For Mother's Day I hopped the Linden EnJay Transit train to meet up with my parents at G-ma and G-pa's house. Happy Mother's Day! (PS - Sarah was so right on the money when she pointed out that my dad looks like Peter Griffin from the Family guy).

Time for more presents! Cousin Chad with an always exciting envelop (Cizzash!)
chad
"Now throw your hands in the air and scream!"

For Christmas day, my grandparents and one of my mom's sister's family (The Carricks) came to our house. Christmas dinner in the house y'all. When I say "Hey," you say "Ho!" Now when I say "Je" you say "sus!"

On Christmas Day it was snowing like crazy! We piled in the car and risked life and limb (literally!) to drive 45 minutes to Clark, NJ to eat Xmas dinner with my Grandparents and one of my mom's sisters and her family.
