Here comes the family.....

Thank you for the respectful request Al...I've had alot of things that I wanted to write about in the last week or two but just haven't gotten it done. So here it goes.....


We started off the day by going to church.....after a very extended absence from church (mostly due to my issues) we are back!!


We chose a nearby Methodist church: http://www.allianceumc.net/
A few friends from work go there so we thought we'd give it a try and we really liked it. Except for one thing - halfway into the service we realized we had chosen the one row that got full sunlight from the window. Needless to say, we refused to move and draw attention to ourselves so one side of Brian's face got alot of sun!! Brian leaned over and said, 'That's how they know who is visiting...whoever sits in this row!"

Then it was time to race home and do the shoot and stuff...you know, that thing you do right before company comes....


S%^&!! (more junk), stuff under the bed
S%^&!! (more junk), stuff in closet
S%^&!! (more junk??) stuff in already full junk room.
But surprisingly we were calm when Brian's family arrived....


Our first order of business was to try out a new recipe for hummus...err, I mean just the hummus we make every Sunday folks.


Family weighs in on the final product....mostly favorable reviews!!!!


Then Lauretta helped us make dinner...she was great at stuffing the chicken for our bruschettta recipe...she and Brian conferred on the best way to do it first....




I love Christmas trees and decorations and of course time with family!

We ended the night with a few rounds of poker....I found out that the Sundbergs play for $$$$$....my winning streak is officially over!
