Fat Chance

Each year we as siblings with the help of our spouses and children make a video that is a Christmas gift to the rest of the family. Ideally it is funny because after all Christmas is about Joy. Each year, however, it's the same song and dance....


-Chad's the star of Jen's Video


-Sarah does all the work of Josh's Video


-Missy and Ryan wear a different colored scarf and their dogs assault each other while Emma looks on.


and...


-Brad and Thera show off their athletic ability


For Example...


Do you remember the year the theme was "Ancient History"? Sarah recreated a pyramid and taught her children to write in hieroglyphs but Brad and Thera just video taped their kids playing Lacrosse.


Do you remember the year the theme was "The 80's"? Chad learned all the choreography to Thriller and performed it with his family as back up dancers but Brad and Thera simply taped a swim meet.


What about the year the theme was "Wild West"? Missy and Ryan wore scarves and cowboy hats in front of their tree but Brad and Thera had qualified all their kids for the Junior Olympics in archery and video taped it for all to see.


This year the theme is "Talents" and Thera had their video submitted six months early. Apparently they have a few like this just sitting around.


Yes that is Brad wearing his Bomber football helmet.


A panel of judges has disqualified their video because Sophia did not appear in the video. Brad states that Sophia was red shirted for 2010. Thera and Brad have vowed they will appeal but it's nearly basketball season and they are all a little distracted. We'll see.


Sophia is dreaming of being an artist....



Fat chance.

I am so sad this video has been disqualified. I thought Thera was in rare form. Even she commented on her own great legs. Next time Miracle will have to be included, that's all there is to it!!
