...that cousin Chad had sneaked away to his bedroom to take an UNDER THE COVERS after-dinner nap fully-clothed! Hahaha. Epic.

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?

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.

Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!

While Chad kicked it on the couch resting his food-baby...
