Brown-Terrell Christmas

There are a lot of Brown's in the family when both you and your sister marry a Brown. Our second Brown Christmas was at Dave sister's beautiful Portland home. I didn't get any pictures of the house and it's decorations so you will just have to believe me - it was spectacular. Susan even had my favorite treat: Oak Grove Bakery, mini ,custard filled, cream puffs coated in chocolate - yumm! I was afraid she had forgotten to order them. We always pick them up at the bakery but alas, I always make a sizable dent in the mouth melting heaven before we get them to her house. This year she had them delivered and hid them until after lunch.
The great room was full of dads, uncles, nephews, great-nephews, moms, aunts, nieces, great nieces, wives and girlfriends.
