Christian John DeVries


 Christian John DeVries also known as CJ is the youngest sibling in the DeVries family. He is my younger brother by 6 years. Yes, he's just a lil baby :) i've watched this young munchkin grow up and i only get more proud each and every year. I will not lie Christian was THE cutest baby and toddler. Last year for my graduation open house i wanted to put his baby pictures up for my poster board. From his contagious grin to his struggle to talk for a few years he was always as cute as a button. He grew up with two older sisters and therefore knows every Hilary Duff, JoJo, and Aaron Carter songs. No worries though he has had his fill of beat ups and teasing just as if he had an older brother. May i ask why boys get the God given talent of making awesome sound effects?   Christian insists to this day that my machine gun sounds like a telephone ringing.. i beg to differ. We've played Lego and hot wheels together, and watched hours and hours of Thomas the Tank engine. Cj has the biggest and best imagination of anyone i know. He has come up with a bazillion contraptions and little trinkets that amaze me! Who thinks to stretch 100 rubber bands across the room so that when you pull one it goes all the way around the room to open the door? young Einstein? yes. I've gone through heart ache and excitement with my awesome brother. The more he grows up the more he teaches me. Last year he got in a fight at school, as soon as i heard i got the sister instinct to go pound some heads together for even trying to hurt him. And i know that when the neighbor kids talk about me in a bad way he gets angry and sticks up for me. When i cry hes always there with a big hug and caring heart. Yes he gets annoying at times but honestly i've had my fair share of annoying moments too. When i run errands he loves to come with and give a second opinion. Most of all i see a young strong christian man coming into view each and every day. He has faith like a rock! Someone says "Oh MY GOD!" he doesn't hesitate to speak up and say that it offends him and his faith. He shares my love for singing which could turn bad for anyone around us at times, but it never stops us :) So Christian John, heres to changing your diapers, carrying you when you couldn't walk, teasing you when you needed it, giving you pick up hugs, scratching your back to sleep, helping you with your homework, and watching you become the greatest 12-year old brother any sister could as for. I am and always will be proud of you <3 


Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk.
 Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider.... It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled


 A brother is a friend given by Nature.

Brother and sister together as friends 

ready to face whatever life sends



There is no love like the love for a brother. There is no love like the love from a brother

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.
