First of all thank you to those that have been voting for me in this contest! I am in 5th place and want to stay there! The contest ends tomorrow so you still have time to vote again here! Thank you SOOO much!

I definitely don't need an excuse to invite people over and eat my favorite meal of the day, but thanks to Gevalia coffee I had a great reason to have my family over for brunch last week.  And we thought it'd be fun to just have the girls! I got to shop at a Safeway store for my breakfast foods and picked out the Chocolate Mocha and House Blend (decaf) coffee.  Because I don't really drink much caffeine these days I mixed them half and half and it was delicious.  I usually don't get flavored coffee but think I may have to start now! It went perfect with our brunch, but would also be great with dessert.  Next time I'm going to try out their K-Cups, as that is what we've been using more often than our coffee maker. 

For breakfast I "made" (the best and easiest kind of preparing, right?) a yogurt parfait bar with strawberry and vanilla yogurt, plus grapes, blueberries, strawberries and granola to mix in.  I have wanted to try making waffles out of cinnamon rolls for awhile and they turned out pretty good.  And do I even mention that I ate the rest of those donuts that didn't get eaten?

These girls were a big fan of all of it too! I'm pretty sure I'd be satisfied eating this meal every day. (Do you like how we all dressed patriotic? Definitely not planned!)

Could my niece's pigtails be any cuter?

Since this was a "girls' brunch," Travis spent some time in the basement working with Chris.  He was so excited to "work" with his Uncle Chris.  He even made him a little name tag. 

Thanks to an easy shopping experience at Safeway and delicious coffee to serve, this was quite the simple get together to host.  Now if only this coffee drinking, breakfast eating, and spending time with my favorite woman could happen on a more regular basis I would be one happy girl!
