Before I get to the brunch, I have some catching up to do. A few weeks before Christmas my best friends and I got together for our Christmas calendar gift exchange. This year we made it a dinner and ugly Christmas sweater party. It was a lot of fun. I grew up with these ladies and love them SO much, they are the best. We missed our dear friend Megan who no longer lives in CA, but I know she was there in spirit :)

| Brendi even made herself dangly bell earrings. She doesn't do anything half way. |
One of our favorite families, the Evers, were in town for Christmas this year. They were nice enough to come visit us and see our new house. We took them for a walk around the neighborhood and that evening we left the kids and went to dinner. We seriously love the Evers and have so much fun together. We just have to convince them that this is where they need to end up!

Christmas eve morning we had our annual breakfast where we get together with friends who are in town for the holidays. Since we are in our own place now, we were able to host the brunch this year. Jason's mom usually does waffles, but she was out of town, so this year we had crêpes, an egg bake, muffins, orange juice, and apple cider. A lot of Jason's friend were on "off" years, but a lot of my friends were around. It is seriously so fun to catch up with everyone, I love it.
