pre-conference brunch

Where we used to live, one of our friends invited us to a family tradition, a pre-conference brunch. Since general conference starts at noon out here in the East, there was plenty of time to eat, enjoy each others company, and head off to the conference experience of one's choice. When they moved, another set of friends took on the challenge, because they enjoyed it so much.

When we moved here, we took the tradition with us. This was to be our third time hosting, except our girls got sick that day, so we rescheduled for yesterday, after church. Life doesn't always work out as you planned.

Kiddo took some pictures, so you can see how much fun we had.

Our good friends, including Babs best amigo, with the two elders about to be double transferred out. (Both from Utah, so I figured they'd appreciate our brunch, where the main course is scones.)

Here they are again.
A woman my daughters, and I, dearly love.
Our fearless branch president, and the do-everything guy that manages to serve everyone.
Kiddo's cute friend, and her mom, my friend, who is also the tireless nursery leader, an important role in for our family.
And us. Yes my eyes are closed. Apparently Babs isn't the only one who thinks the flash is really flashy.
(Babs is not in any pictures. Shortly after the first guests arrived she insisted on going to bed. She slept through the festivities.)
