Holten Christmas = Awesome. Period.
Dude. It’s Christmas. You may have thought it was over. You were wrong. It turns out that us members of the Holten clan take our holidays very seriously. We celebrated Christmas on January 7th this year. Christmas is our most serious Holten holiday, and it is always an epic day of food, gifts, tournaments, and most importantly…gambling.
As our family has gotten larger over the years, our Holten Family Pool Tournament has gotten ginormous (on a side note, did you know that ginormous is actually in the dictionary? I always thought it was made up). It is awesome, we have trophies, a three dollar buy-in, and we even get to take our winnings from a boob mug. This year was the 25th Annual Holten Pool Tournament. We had to get a new trophy this year because our other one couldn’t fit any more winners’ names on it. Yup. We’re awesome.
I think our family tripled in size this year. All of a sudden there were like a million babies everywhere. I don’t know how this happened (or at least I don’t want to think about it). I included pictures of two of our new additions below (there are more than this – they’ll be on here another day I’m sure). Lillian, my new baby niece with my cousin Cassie (aboobooboooo), and bright eyed Ethan, my cousin Jenny’s son.
Who doesn’t want to have the last pictures they look at on this blog be of adorable children? That’s what I like best about little kiddies, I don’t even have to take a good picture, they just make it awesome all by themselves.
