Here's an update on the family photo that we're famous for every year. This year it did not go out with my Christmas cards. In fact the cards that get sent to my family were withheld until after Christmas. For all of the regular folks I actually sent out an email card absent of the family photo.
In lieu of all of this I discovered one blessing about having my birthday four days after Christmas, (other than the blessing that I am alive, like my dad says its better than the alternative) is that because its my birthday I pretty much get whatever I want. I had tried all through the holidays to get the fam together for a photo. I even have two photographers in the bunch, nevertheless they whined, complained and totally blew me off.
Well, when my birthday came around, let me just say it was a great day. They all got in line to cater to me. When I was asked what I wanted to do for my b-day, I chose for us all to go roller skating. However, Sam ended up taking a bad fall the night before, blacking out and smashing his head, so I changed the activity to something where there were less chances to need paramedics.
We all went to see the Disney movie Enchanted, the fairytale that comes to life in NYC. It was such a blast to watch all of the grown men in the bunch squirm through the movie. That was worth the price of the ticket. However, when push comes to shove, they actually thought the movie was very funny and entertaining, which it was intended to be. Mark never would have agreed to go if he hadn't wanted to make me happy on my birthday. Birthdays are the bomb!
Since it was cater to me day, before we went to the movie, I insisted that everyone line up for the photo. It's amazing what a breeze it was, all because it was my birthday. No one made terrible faces or goofed off, except Chloe's one indecent gesture, but other than that most of the shots were tolerable and it only took 15 minutes tops. Hooray for birthdays!
