Kenny at Nuba, where we had dinner for Mom & Maddie's birthday. Some of Maddie's friends came, and so did Jeff, and Alice was in town for a few days so she and Josh were there as well. We had a blast and ate so much and laughed so much and drew a stupid drawing and pretended it was warmer outside than it was. Also ran into Kaylie, whom I hadn't seen in awhile, on her break at work.

We spent the day at Hollywood Studios. You can tell how hot it was by the fact that in this photo, all three of my brothers have visible patches of back sweat. However, riding the new and improved Star Tours ride made it all worth it, as well as our dinner at the Brown Derby.
A couple more photos from this day are here.

We slept a little late, unsurprisingly. Went to the Magic Kingdom around 2, and as soon as we got there, Kenny went to the barbershop and got his shoulder-length hair cut into what you see above. When the barber asked if he wanted pixie dust, he said yes. Because he's cool like that.
We rode all the most important rides and then headed over to the Grand Floridian for our dinner reservation. After dinner, we went back to the hotel and played Cards Against Humanity and Josh showed Jimm how to shotgun a beer, which they did standing in the bathtub.

My aunt Wendy is joining the reserves, and my mom hosted a going-away party for her before she heads off to Montreal for basic training. I was late due to bussing out in the snow, but apparently my uncle Mike showed up in full camo gear and started yelling at her, and made her do 20 pushups. My uncle Ken gave her a bunch of army figurines and a nerf gun. We all ate too much and drank wine in the afternoon, so by the time Jeff came out after work to join us for dinner at the pub, he was the only one who ordered a full meal.
Kenny (above) is going to be seventeen tomorrow. He is my youngest brother. This makes me feel old.

Kenny, looking dapper on Christmas Day while playing with a magic trick Riley gave him. I actually have the best family and I love them all to death.

We went to my dad's for Thanksgiving (part 1). Sharon's nephews rigged up something so we could get the hockey game going despite the fact that there is no cable in that house. Unfortunately someone had to hold this coaxial cable in place all night. This is Kenny taking his turn as human antenna.
And after all our hard work, those lousy bums had the gall to lose in shoot out!

Day 10: Epcot. It wasn't as hot (nor crowded), thank christ, so we were more ok with wandering around in the World Showcase. We did some shopping and met up with Alice's friend Lindsay, who managed to get us a table at Le Cellier - the steakhouse in the Canada section that normally has a 6-month-long waitlist for reservations. It was SO. FREAKING. GOOD.
these are my bros, chillin' in the fake Morocco, looking out at the fake Mexico.

Day 8: Magic Kingdom again, though we didn't get there until like two in the afternoon because we were so lazy. Also it was mega ridiculous kinds of hot so we basically just spent the time standing in as many air conditioned places as possible and taking turns with the mister fan when not possible. Later we went back to our resort for Mickey's Backyard Barbecue, which was the most lacklustre food we had on this trip, but it was worth it for the free beer and to watch all the little kids having the time of their lives dancing with the characters. After leaving the bbq my mom and I went for a drunken night swim in a pool that was basically like a warm bathtub.
This is my youngest brother Kenny, enjoying a post-ribs popsicle.

Yesterday me and all my siblings went to my dad's for food and booze and belated Christmas gifts. I laughed until my face and stomach hurt, as I usually do when I hang out with my family.
