Dressing Exactly Like Brownie

We've found having a child gets us out of almost every single gift to our parents.  Instead of going to the mall and buying something they don't really need, we give something related to their grandchild, often costing less than $10, and it beats any other real present that folks put thought and money into giving! 

This year my dad's birthday present was a framed photo of our son which elicited smiles from everyone -

And matching polo shirts (notice Cas in the background - I think Cas and I were more excited about this present than my dad) -

 The twins - Brownie & Collin -

And now I look exactly like Brownie!

I think there's a really good chance that at Christmas, Brownie will be receiving a photo of he and Collin in their matching shirts - so his birthday gift will get us out of another present!
