Engagement Brunch for Alex and Coady

Uncle Alex and soon-to-be-aunt Coady were in town for a wedding, and we celebrated their engagement with a Sunday morning family brunch. At first, Collin stared down Uncle Alex, but soon they were fast friends.

If you were sitting down within a 3 foot radius, you became part of Collin's hugging circle. Next up was Great Aunt Carla -

And Grammy -

Happy nephew, proud uncle -

The three amigos -
On to the backyard to play with more family. Cousin Carol with Collin. The Great Grandmas chatting.

Grandpa Brownie was delighted by the level of interest Collin showed in the lizard. Pretty much every visit to the grandparents' home involves some lizard time.
The hugging continues in the back with Grammy and Brownie -

Happy in the arms of Coady, such a natural with children -
Deep in conversation -
Playing with Great Uncle Bobby. I've got this hiding and seek game down.

Found! And off they go to explore the backyard -

Sharing silly secrets -

Great Aunt Carla can play the same game -

My Grammy thinks I am hysterical - Content in Dad's arms -
