My brother's partner is white & her family still celebrates Christmas. We wrapped up some of the free toys that I got for my nephew & Mom had put aside some clothes for him too. We're just having a family meal & hanging out here this afternoon.
@PhoenixSerenity What a handsome boy!! 😍
@kbelisari0 He will get some dental treats, later 😊
@PhoenixSerenity Aww! I’m sure he’s spoiled and very loved!!
@PhoenixSerenity It’s been so long since I’ve seen the dressed up Asher. Handsome as always!
@CAWguy It's puffy vest season for him - on his supervised outdoor walks. I will update on that soon. Hard to take pics when outside with him because I'm trying not to trip/fall - he zigzags all over the place & I'm constantly untangling the leash.
@PhoenixSerenity I’m laughing at my mental image of that scene!
@PhoenixSerenity holy SHIT he's so HANDSOME!!!
@inherentlee Yes, he sure is - quite a photogenic kitty ❀️
@PhoenixSerenity he really is, and the necktie.... 😭😭

While me & Mom are playing with Rayven, my middle brother is cooking with his partner. They're cooking to give me & Mom a break. We already made some foods for Dad & ancestors, earlier. We cook almost all holiday meals so we appreciate a break from that. My brother, Steve, is thoughtful & considerate πŸ’—

A lovely time, bonding with our small family πŸ’ž

@PhoenixSerenity These are epic.
@stagerabbit Everyone looks awesome in this rad nature lovers hat!

@PhoenixSerenity @PhoenixSerenity Little Rayven must be having a blast with his new fooseball gift.

I hope that you, and your family are having a wonderful holiday, PhoenixSerenity.

@PhoenixSerenity
Omg that's adorable!
And the little safety goggles kill me, they're so cute! Honestly, if I'd had toy PPE at that age I might have had a better relationship with the real thing when the time came.
@silvermoon82 He absolutely loves this toy toolkit!

@silvermoon82 Rayven just said: I will build you a house beside my house! You can live beside me. We can play every day. I will build you a house. I have a hammer!

My Mom just told me that Rayven is acting/speaking like I did at his age. Me, my nephew & one cousin are the only Tigers in our family. We're very similar in many ways. We care very much for our family & very protective of them.

Mom told us all, today - when I was 6 years old & my patriarch Grandparents had lost their social housing - I collected cardboard all around community, on my bicycle & built them a small shelter beside our home because I didn't want my Grandparents to move far away & be without a home. They got another social housing spot & lived in a subsidized townhouse, with a lot of aunts & uncles, for over a decade after getting evicted from 2nd social housing place. My cardboard shelter was torn down by the coop people.

@PhoenixSerenity
Yay! Start them early!
One of my favorite early toys was a (real) hand cranked drill with wooden handles. Like I said, real, but I kept "borrowing" it from my dad. I got it back after he passed away. I'm 68, still have it in my shop, and still clearly remember playing with it as a small child.
