Sometimes ya gotta throw your head back and party

Here's the crowd from Christmas 2006:

We hosted the annual "Ryan's buddy party" for lack of knowing what else to call it. It really is one-of-a-kind. Too bad we forgot to get the camera out for a group shot this year -- I guess it was okay 'cause there was no "wang dang, sweet poontang" shirt to show off. (don't ask)

we make the kiddos sit on the floor next to the garbage. only just this very moment did it occur to me that we could've gotten out the kids table.

This shot just doesn't do max's swollen bloody gums justice. poor little man.
