Facial Countdown


My poor sweet husband spent most of the last few months with his family telling him that we couldn't wait for him to shave his beard. Charlie, Jane and I didn't like the prickles. I think Maggie was the only one that didn't put up a fuss when he wanted a kiss. This is where Mike decided to have a little fun with it. There was no way he was going to let this go without a little "play time".
Have I ever mentioned that when I get out a camera my husband starts acting like a big goof ?Rarely does he let me take a normal picture.
It was really hard to look at him like this......creepy - molester - drunk guy. This one lasted all of half a day but he did go to a meeting like this, embarrassing.

This was only around the house. Even he was too embarrassed to go out like this. Charlie said "Wow Dad, you're a whole new man".
So I need your help, I'm sort of thinking that I miss the beard. He looks good with it right? Charlie and Jane are saying that they want it back and I'm a little afraid to say it too. (Since I spent the majority of the time telling him to get rid of it.) Usually I'm not a big facial hair gal but maybe I should be. Please vote grow it back or keep it smooth?

Eww, that is a hard one. I love it when Jake grows a go-tee, but then it is nice to have a smooth face to kiss, but overall my vote goes for yes on facial hair, I like the 2nd and 3rd pic best, the one of him making a goofy face. Good Luck!

I laughed so hard at the "creepy" picture. Hilarious! I think he looks great either way. Matt keeps growing a beard and then shaving it, then growing it back, then shaving it... You get the idea.

I am not for facial hair. It is too prickly for kissing. My vote is to keep it off.

Shay said...

Very funny pictures! I'm not really a facial hair gal, so I'll say keep it smooth.

Amie said...

That was so funny. I like the smooth look too!

I vote that he grows the facial hair every year as the new "Crosland Family Christmas Tradition." It will help you all think of Jesus during the holiday. Then shave it in time for the new year and stay smooth until September.

holy chester the molester! that's the best picture ever!

i'm all for facial hair- but i don't do stache's- goatee or a lil flava under the bottom lip is always good....dos that help at all?

Oh my Goodness! President Crosland :)

Holey Heck!! I haven't had that great a laugh in ages. Adam ran back upstairs to see what I was doing. I can't believe he went out of the house with some of them but I have to say he was very creative on the shave off. I usually hate facial hair but Mike's does look good. Cource he is a very cool guy too.

The pic with the handle-bars is pretty funny. How do you guys get anything done!? You are both too funny.

I do have to say that I like a good trimmed goatee.

The full grown beard is a little much but I do like it when Mike took it down a bit!

Merry Christmas--we got your card and your kids are so cute. Presley loves looking at it and telling me everyone's name.

Are you coming to UT? I drove by your in-laws and with all the lights on we could see in--I tried to see if I saw you or MIke but there were too many people.

I like the full grown beard (on him) but maybe not as bushy. I wish Stephen would grow a soul patch, hot. For kissing purposes,

Message from above, "Let it grow".

Nancy said...

Mike looks good either way. Michelle's idea is good - once a year growth to remind you of the Christmas season.
I laughed out loud at the pictures though. Wish I could have been there to make comments!

Hilarious, Chester Molester!
