Well this was a quick sketch that wound up taking a bit to get done. But it was a nice way to make some revisions to Dylan. Shortened up his feet a bit and integrated his puffs into his ears and tail more. Thought it'd make for a nicer balance. And Holiday themed as we're still in the season. Here's hoping 2017 starts to look up.

New Years Eve found Dylan Dalright at his grandmother's home after a nearly two hour drive. The house itself was relatively large with at least 8 other cars parked outside it by the time they arrived. While most would gather on Christmas for the holidays it wasn't so with the Dalright family. They were spread out a bit now and getting back home at Christmas was always a challenge. Indeed more so for Dylan's mom Tanya. As a doctor she never quite knew when she might get an emergency call and need to come in. But this year had been quite and the hospital staff expanded so that had made things easier. Once inside they were greeted b a throng of relatives and hugs and well wishes. Dylan was a bit blushy at all the hugs and such given his current state. After the long ride and having fallen asleep he was a bit soggy and feeling a little self conscious. Of course everyone there knew what he wore and why. Of course it wasn't exactly hidden given his pants.

But Dylan did manage to slink off with his mom for a quick change. Now fresh and clean Dylan felt much more at ease and cared far less if anyone noticed anything as he made his way through the house. He talked with some of his cousins, of whom there were certainly many. His mom had 6 sibling, most of whom were now married and had kids themselves. So plenty of cubs his own age or close enough. Dylan grinned as he ran into Rob who had engaged some of their younger cousins in a pretend game in which he now sitting in a new mobility chair which sported four wheeled legs as 'The Tank'. A Bunny Cyborg on a mission to save the future or some such. Dylan giggled and played along for a while. Eventually though Dylan did wander away from the group and made his way out to the kitchen for just a little quite to recharge and maybe get a drink. While taking a moment out in the kitchen he smiled as he ran into his grandmother.

"Hi sweetie. Getting away from all the ruckus for a second?" She asked with a warm smile as she walked into the kitchen getting a grin from her grandson.

"Hi Grandma!" Dylan beamed and nodded. "Yeah. Just need to recharge for a minute."

"So how was your and your mom's Christmas? Oh I see your wearing one of your gifts." She noticed quite happy to see she once again remembered everyone's sizes properly.

"It was really good I think. Mom never got called in for anything and we had a nice time. We stopped out over to Rob's that day too! I got to see the new chair early and it's pretty cool. Hehe. No wonder he calls it the Tank." Dylan nodded and rambled on for a moment about their holiday before registering the comment on his sweater. "Uh Huh! Thanks again for the sweater Grandma. It's nice and warm. And thanks for all the other gifts too. I really liked the Trek book. I'm already up to chapter 15!"

"Oh I heard from your Uncle you two stopped over. Heh Robby's name for it sure is fitting. Though I keep worrying he might run some lil bunny over." Grandma laughed. "And oh my that far already. That's my little reader. Hopefully some of your little cousins follow their big cousin's good example."

"Awww thanks Grandma." Dylan smiled and blushed as she came in for a hug which he gladly reciprocated.

"Such a good boy. Tell you what. We're running a bit low on sugar cookies out there. Wanna give your grandma a hand baking up a fresh batch?" She asked as they pulled back from the hug.

"Sure! I know all the ingredients! Just tell me what to get out and what else to do!" Dylan said nodding vigorously always happy to help and besides that baking with grandma was always fun.

"Alright get out a large mixing bowl from the cabinet while I get our ingredients." She nodded and ruffled his hair.

Dylan nodded and turned around opening the cabinet and searched through for the proper bowl as his grandma went to the fridge. Soon the two would have the kitchen smelling like cookies which would eventually break the relative quite of the kitchen as little bunnies would inevitably be drawn in by the pleasant smells. Dylan of course telling them they had to wait until the cookies where done and encouraged to join his cousins for some further play while the cookies baked. It had turned out to be a rather happy Holiday Visit for the family. Something to be fondly remembered and recreated for years yet to come.

Well hope you guys liked the pic and the lil story. ^^
