Sarah's Birthday (August 2010)

Shawn loves to tease his sister Sarah. She is the baby of the family and is 13 years younger than Shawn. On various birthdays, Shawn will give Sarah embararrasing gag gifts just to be funny. When Sarah was going into Junior High, he gave her this huge leopard print bra. Another birthday he bought her a bra made out of candy. I think his infatuation with bras had to do with the fact that he was struggling with realizing his little baby sister was growing up! When Sarah turned 16, he bought her a car. Yes, a real, live, running Chevy Celebrity. It was quite the junker, but it ran! Not sure what ever happened to that car... When Sarah was going to college, he gave her a care package with little embarrassing sayings, including references to avoiding the "Freshman 15." Isn't he rude? Sarah's 21st birthday was no exception. Shawn thought of giving Sarah a blow-up doll for this birthday because he remembered his Uncle Glen received a female blow-up doll around the same time in his life. We thought it would be so funny to give Sarah an inflatable boyfriend because although she dates a lot, she was not seeing anyone seriously. Little did we know that between the time we thought of our surprise and Sarah's birthday, Sarah found herself a real boyfriend! We had to change our approach a little bit and make it sound like the blow-up doll was a back-up boyfriend in case things with she and her current boyfriend Josh did not work out. But it was still pretty funny! We named him "Josue" which is Spanish for Josh. Aren't we just so funny?Gracie, Brielle, Sarah, Josue, and the real Josh
