My First Relief Sale

For those of you that don't know, my Dad was raised in the Mennonite church. Every year, the Mennonite Central Committee has a Relief Sale to benefit missions for the churches. It is a big event and somewhat of a Brenneman family reunion of sorts. Here are some of my favorite parts from the weekend:
Meeting family-
I met Monte and Kim and their kids. I loved finding out that they read my blog.
Josiah, was there. I liked his hat!
Last, but certainly not least, I got to meet my new cousin Brannen! He's the little one on Cadence's lap...
Seeing family-
I can't get enough Grandma time!
I got to catch up with my great aunts and uncles, cousins, aunt, uncle, and many other relatives! I love seeing my family!
Playing with bubbles-
This one gets me every time!
Food-
Whole hog sandwiches, pit-tatoes, pancakes, applesauce, and my favorite...apple fritters!
Believe it or not, I personally downed 5 fritters all by myself. Mom thinks that probably equates to a whole apple. WHOA!
Toys-
Grandma bought me a handmade toy that I can shake, too. What a great weekend! I really liked the Relief Sale and look forward to going next year.
