sean's bachelor party

being a best man for my brother, sean, meant that i was responsible for the bachelor party, a time honored tradition for which i took very seriously:) held just before christmas to allow for ample recovery time, we decided to hold it in lawton, oklahoma (our most recent "family" home). not all the groomsman were able to make it at the same time, so we filled a family friend (eric, far right pictured below) as an honorable groomsman. we had a blast!

the REST of the images have been censored, because what happens at home, stays at home.
