So this is Christmas….

(Posted by Gayle)

Even with 4 married kids and almost 13 grand kids sometimes the holidays are spent with just the two of us.  When we do get to share a quiet Christmas, we go to brunch at the Melrose Hotel in Dallas. It’s an institution.  My parent’s spent their wedding night there in 1941.

It won’t be quiet here for long.  On Sunday half of the Lambert brood will come bursting through our doors.  Next week will fly by and before we know it we’ll be staring at other wondering what in he world happened to December.

Take a peek at our decidedly elegant Christmas brunch…

We were greeted by breathtaking roses.
How did they “make” them all the same size.

Ron was having a really good hair day!
He looked so dapper.

BEEF – Ron’s way.

Will I ever learn to love pictures of me?

Mac-cheese and mimosas are the same color.
Who knew?

Sadly these look better than they were.
But inspiration has struck.  I’ll be making
red velvet cake for the family this weekend!
