Drew has been asking about the date for the annual Roberts Christmas Brunch. The first year I had to practically force him to go. Now he can hardly wait. He loves the whole event from the delicious food (especially the canolis) to the family Christmas picture taking to chatting with all the people he has come to know. And then there is the free Roberts tee shirt - this year a pretty cheerful blue.
We turn in our mittens for those who have none, fill in our name tags, and head for the serving line. I love the Belgian waffles with toppings. Drew prefers the bacon and eggs. The best part is bumping into friends and colleagues and chatting. We linger over our plates, watching the line for the photo taking. Drew is wearing his Angry Birds hat and gets lots of comments. He plans to wear it for our picture, posing with his arms crossed and his attitude showing.
Time flies by. We miss some people who have not been able to come, and meet others we did not expect to see. 2 hours is a short time to fellowship with family, but totally worth it to see the big grin on Drew's face. As we leave Garlock, he is singing a Christmas carol. I do believe he has caught the Christmas spirit!
