The present seemed to be a successful one because now they surprise their mom with a new portrait every year.

His original video showing all of the 11 pictures that were taken over the years has gained 2.1 million views on the social media platform. Seeing how engaged and intrigued people were by this video, the man also shared an update of another picture he and his sister created for their mom. It was said that their mom got married this year, so to celebrate this, they made her another portrait that you can see here.

The series of pictures left a lot of people online amused as well as confused. TikTok users seemed to be impressed with the idea and the siblings turning this funny one-time thing into a tradition lasting years. Some of the people online didn’t hide that they had mixed feelings about their pictures. These photos portray brother and sister in goofy and hilarious scenarios. The siblings posed in a kitchen with Kyle getting his finger chopped off, his sister tattooing his arm, and they even took a picture that shows them in a bathtub together, to create a quite awkward moment.
Bored Panda contacted Kyle to find out more details about their special tradition. The TikTok user shared that he was surprised to see his video go viral online as it is a place full of eye-catching content being posted every minute. He added: “Although we’ve had very high hopes about this for quite some time, so we were really excited when we saw it happen!”
The artist also revealed how he and his sister come up with the ideas for these pictures, stating that their rule is to think of “the most random awkward things.” “We’re both pretty imaginative people who grew up doing theatre so I think that’s something we take pride in,” added Kyle.
Looking at how hilarious these shots are, one can only wonder how much fun the brother and sister had while making them. When asked what is his favorite part of making this present for their mom, Kyle shared that it’s the part where they give the present to their mom. “We find a different way to give it to her each year. Sometimes in a present, sometimes we just hang it in the house and wait for her to find it!” told the artist, revealing another interesting detail about their tradition.

Kyle responded by saying: “Her reaction is always a mixture of surprise, laughter, and disgust. She always howls with laughter and then just stares at it in disbelief.
