And the stockings were all hung...

Brunch with Dylan

On the weekend Dylan and his mom and dad met us for lunch. It had been a long time since we had seen each other. As you can tell by the photos it was a pretty happy and long overdue reunion.
If you are looking for a good breakfast spot, you should check out Prohibition. They have some pretty delicious breakfast meats!

It's like we are famous!

Appearing in other people's blogs makes me feel sort of special!
