Christmas Brunch 2012

Last year, Aunt Ashley, Nana, and I were trying to make plans for Christmas, and Aunt Ashley came up with the wonderful idea of having a brunch.  We had such a good time last year, we knew we wanted it to be family tradition.  Nana hosted our 2nd Annual Christmas Brunch and I have to tell you, it gets better every year. (Nana - thank you so much for all you do.  You thought of every detail and made today so special.)  So, what do you do at a brunch, you might be wondering?  Let me show you with a ton (and I mean a ton) of pictures.......  First, we eat a lot of yummy food.  Mostly breakfast type food, but the beauty of a brunch is that anything goes.

Addi and Karsyn had a picnic in the living room.

Family filling their plates buffet style.

Karsyn knows no days without lots of kisses from Addi.

We play games at brunch and with Nana and Papa G's toys.

Robby and Evan playing checkers.

I love Addi's sassy smirk.

We made ornaments at our brunch.  So glad Aunt Ashley and Rita were helping out. =)

Then, we took a lot of pictures at our brunch.

Then, Addi told everyone to be a star fish. LOL!

We had such a nice time.  I really loved every second of it.  All the kids were great.  Everyone laughed and had a good time.  The only thing missing was Aunt Becky and her family.  At one point, when we were taking pictures, I told her to get in the picture and she was in Texas. =(  I miss her a bunch.   After last night at Grandma's house and today, we have some tucked our children.  Hopefully, they'll all get a good nights rest, because tomorrow is their church Christmas Program.  And Nana, I just want to tell you thank you again.  What a wonderful day!!!
