oloriel | Also, picspam.

Today was my brother's birthday celebration - he turned 21 on Friday - with the family. I actually meant to leave after dinner and go to Cologne for the WG's creative day, but it was snowing so badly that I really, really didn't dare to drive. (It got better in the evening, but then it was too late.) So instead we stayed and waited for the snowing to stop. And then we got to know that it was Kene's first experience with snow - Kene is my mom's sort-of adoptive cousin from Nigeria - and he didn't know how to build a snowman, so we had to teach him that, of course.
And because we all love snow and picspam, here goes some. Just so you believe me about the snow. Also, because of yay!family.

Meet my cousin Lorenzo. My brother calls him El Awrence. He's the youngest of my godfather's sons.
This one is Ricardo, the second-youngest. He's beautiful, don't you dare to say anything else.
This would be Timo, the eldest.
And this is Alessio, the third-born, also known as Gollum. Unfortunately, I have no photo of Jesko, who is number 2.
There's more where that came from.
My uncle Jochen, freeing his car.
To boldly go...
My brother, Snowman, Jörg, me and Kene
And we build an igloo, too!

... yeah. That was random.

And I made an advent wreath. It's too small in comparison to the candles, really. Alas.

And NaNo? Requires a small miracle now.
