Went through the few photos I took this Xmas. Not many to go through seeing as everyone in my family hates having their photo taken. Everyone but one person … my favorite cousin in the whole world, Rodney. In fact, he’s one of my favorite people in the whole world! I thought I’d share it, because looking at his silly grin always makes me smile.

It also made me smile when I walked into the house and saw him wearing the hat and scarf I made for him last year. He makes me smile a lot. He’s really silly, and if he’d let his freak flag fly a little higher, I’m sure the rest of the family would accuse him of being weird too. He was cracking me up at the dinner table by humming Xmas songs and then acting like he didn’t know he was humming … and pretending to be senile and not knowing how old he is (ten years my senior). He’s such a goofball! I wish we lived closer so we could see each other more often, and if Lin and I really don’t go to my family Xmas gathering next year, I’m going to have to find some excuse to get to see him. I’d miss him horribly if we didn’t get to connect at least once a year.

So see, my whole family doesn’t make me insane after all.
