A Cousin Christmas


WARNING: If your name is Jennifer Brewer - STOP reading now!

Boy, I wish our family liked each other. If they did, we might get together the first week of December for our annual Cousin Christmas Party.

If we liked to be together, we might compare how big the kids are getting - even outgrowing their moms.

If we liked each other, there might be some smiling.

If we liked each other, we might enjoy being with three generations under the same roof.

If we liked each other, we might enjoy sharing our sugar cookie masterpieces.

If we liked each other, we might let the little ones use almost ALL the sprinkles on one cookie.

If we like each other there might be kissing and frivolity in the kitchen.

If we liked each other, we might smile instead of look tired and grumpy (just showing you it wasn't all fun and games Jen).

If we liked each other we might like to listen to stories about how Grama stole Ricey in the fourth grade when his girlfriend was out of town.

If we liked each other, we might not care who looks taller in all the pictures.

If we liked each other, there might be some hand holding in front of the Christmas Tree.

If we liked each other, we might be happy whenever anyone gets a 12 during the Christmas Tree Game.

If we liked each other, we might like to get close for pictures.

If we liked each other, we might not eat our cousin's m&m's.

If we liked each other, we wouldn't have spent so much time in the garage trying to bust open the holiday burrito/submarine (can you guess this is what Uncle Steve was in charge of - notice the array of weapons to choose from behind Jack.)

If we liked each other, we might take a break from frosting to smile for yet another picture!

And if we liked each other we wouldn't compare what hot chocolate mix-ins were the best (hmmm, no pic).

Yep Jen, we just want to assure you that we don't like to be together and party was no fun at all!

all I can say is that it was a good thing that I was actually sitting in mom and dad's kitchen, surrounded by you all while reading this, or it would have been one bitter day in our household! Love you!

Love the family get-togethers, especially during the holidays!
