Brown Family Christmas Party 2013

The annual Brown family Christmas party was held on the Saturday after Christmas this year since D.J. wasn't supposed to come home until Friday and he didn't want to miss it. The day was definitely eventful this year. James broke his fingernail off and fractured his bone around 1pm just before the party was supposed to start. Brian had to take him to the hospital and they didn't get back to the party until around 6pm. They both needed a drink after that! Family started arriving around 3-4pm and we all caught up on life, ate, drank, and watched the kiddos. Dad and Mom made amazing food as usual and everyone brought something yummy. We had ham biscuits, meatballs, deviled eggs, green beans, mac and cheese, corn pudding, potato casserole and lots of desserts. Mmmmm!!! After we ate, the kids all opened their gifts. It was fun to actually have a kid this year to be able to open presents. She got lots of awesome things from her cousins and great aunts and uncles. Then, it was time to tell everyone our big announcement. So, once again, Myla had to go change into her sister onesie. My Dad brought her out and handed her to my cousin, Patty. We knew she would cry and she did. It was a cute moment. The ladies stayed upstairs chit chatting like usual and the men headed downstairs to play pool. This has become a tradition and I just love this party. It's good to see all of my aunts and uncles and spend some time together during the holidays. Myla had an awesome time too. Can't wait for next year!
