Christmas Event 3

Yesterday was our third event of the season and one of our very favorite ones. It's our annual brunch with friends. The time varies year to year since we do it when Nick and Colleen are in town from Alaska as they alternate Christmas and New Year's between his family in Anacortes and hers in California. Tony and Shauna once again hosted it at their house in Ferndale, they finished building it last year and it's just beautiful. Shauna made a super fabulous meal for us, breakfast wraps, bacon, cinnamon coffee cake, the works. Everyone definitely filled up! The kids are getting older now and play well together...they love to chase each other around the house (it makes a circle...perfect for running!). There were two pregnant ladies, I was not one this year, thank goodness! Kristin is due in a few weeks and Shannon in April so next year should be even more fun with two new arrivals! Poor Anicia broke her elbow not too long ago and she has a cast on her whole left arm but that didn't seem to slow her down at all, she and Abby were as cute as ever. We don't get together very often but it's so fun when we do!
