First Faux-Prah Winner and How I celebrated 11/11/11 at 11:11pm

Mr. Man has a large extended family and has approximately 4,012 first cousins.  I have exactly two cousins, yes two.  The last time I saw my cousins, I was 12, so I wouldn't say that we are close. At first Mr. Man's large extended family was overwhelming, but I have embraced them.  I love them, and now many of them are married and have kids of their own.  We call the cousin's offspring "Mini-cousins" and my kids love having family gatherings with them.  On the Occasion of 11/11/11, we got a few of the cousins together to celebrate. 

 

We laughed and talked, and mocked my "$6.99 hairs cut".  I think my new years resolution will be no more cheapie hair cuts, but you know that moment when you just can't stand your hair anymore and you get desperate?  

Evening Highlights: with the cousins:  Playing Twister for Kinect (cheesy game but we laughed a lot),  Posing for a picture at 11:11pm, and making fools of ourselves doing the Digg and Torch playing Dance Central.

See how much fun Mr. Man is having, it's actually his new "look".  Earlier this year he tried sporting a beard and a toothy grin, now he is going for more of a freaky stare.  Here is a pic from Halloween...  spooky, I don't love it.
