As a Williamsburger, I don't have a lot of free time. The Pro to this is that I get a GREAT education, and I have an excuse when people I don't like want to hang out. ;) The biggest Con to this is that this doesn't give me a lot of time to hang out with my siblings. I have some of the greatest siblings on the planet, so this is kinda a really big Con. Especially since this is my last year home. And I'll go on a mission in a year and when I get home they'll be so big, and I will have missed them!
One of my new years resolutions was to spend more time with my siblings, particularly the youngest two, who are currently 4 and 5. Christmas break was lovely. I spent the whole time with the munchkins, particularly with Aaron. We made Christmas treats together, as you can see above, I took him to see Santa, and we would snuggle almost everyday and watch Doctor Who together, because yes, he loves it as much as I do.
Beginning on Christmas Eve, which is when the above picture was taken, he started dressing like this. This is his interpretation of dressing like the Tenth Doctor, who is his favorite(he calls him "the doctor that we both like a lot"). On Sundays it's even better, because he'll wear a tie with his suit and he's just adorable, and he's been trying to convince my mother to let her wear his sneakers with his suit. She won't consent. ;) Anyway, his interpretation makes sense if you think about it. He's wearing a "jacket" of sorts, like Ten did. And I think it's adorable. He wears a variation of the above outfit almost everyday. Shortly after New Years, when we were nearing the end of Season 6 together, he began asking me to style his hair everyday "like the doctor" and wears it at least 3 times a week, and never misses a Sunday without his David Tennant hair, which I think is adorable. He has been asking to grow it out so it will look better.
Here's us on Christmas Eve, with the lego death star that I gave him. And yes, I'm wearing the Mumu...I just really love that Mumu....
My brother and I have bonded incredibly over the past month. Yesterday I got home from my run with Autumn, and he was standing at the door in his tennis shoes, and requested we go on a run together, and even though I was exhausted and my shin splits were bothering me, we went on a quick run around the block(and by run, I mean we walked most of the way ;) ) and it was great. This morning I was doing yoga so I wouldn't be tempted to sleep, and he came and did it with me. I wish I had a picture, because it was adorable. Like, adorable. I can't even explain how adorable.
His favorite princess has very recently become Sleeping Beauty, and he comes and snuggles with me whenever he catches me taking naps. On the weekends he'll come and wake me up by gently placing his hand on my cheek and whispering, "It's morning-time, Aurora. Wake up." and he'll sit next to me as I groggily eat breakfast. He is caring and adorable.
I have been blessed with an amazing family. I have 8 sweet siblings and the best parents I could ask for.
I had a specific picture in mind, taken about 3 years ago, of the two of us to put at the end of this post, but alas, I cannot find it. I must've deleted it once upon a time. So, instead, enjoy this totally random picture of my family.
Please note how my brother is wearing his plaid button up shirt with a t shirt underneath. ;)
