New Years Brunch


I love New Years Brunch! This year, Sam and I crawled into bed at 4:30 AM from the New Years Eve Party, and family started rolling in for another round at 8:30 AM New Years Day. What I love best about this post-party celebration, is that it's another chance to be with family, but in a more relaxed setting. And who doesn't love relaxing over a nice plate of ham, bacon, egg bake, strawberry crepes, french toast, hash browns, & English muffins!

Yes, this picture is a little dark. But I thought it captured the overall lethargy of the moment. After breakfast, we played some more, talked some more, and then slowly people trickled home. What made this day especially nice was that the Green Beans, Sam's older sister Rachel and her family, were present after being out of town the previous week in Utah. We're so glad they made it home safely.


Samuel's up to bat. You'll see that Owen's close by, and yes, several kids did get cracked in the head! Everyone's fine, but thank goodness for the gel covers on the remotes!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that Cody is serving his mission right now in Portland, Maine. His mission covers parts of New York, Maine, and New Hampshire. He's been out since June. We are so proud of him. I'll let him know you said "hi" when I e-mail him. Take care! :)
