Brother’s Day

January 12, 2013 by dailygnome 4 Comments

After celebrating Father’s Day last June Carson started inquiring why there wasn’t a Brother’s Day. And for that matter, “A Sister’s Day!” piped in Hads. So this January 1st we pulled out the calendar and declared there will be both a Brother’s Day and Sister’s Day in 2013. Only requirement was that it fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

Carson, seeking instant gratification chose the first Saturday of the year. So last Saturday we celebrated our first annual Brother’s Day. On tap:

Donut run for breakfast (with hot chocolate)
A small present from each family member
Biking at The Lumberyard
Sushi for lunch
Afternoon matinee at Kennedy School

The day wrapped up with a visit from Uncle Nate, Uncle E and Calvin for an evening of football watching and Mexican food. Looking forward to this annual tradition.

HAPPY BROTHER’S DAY!
