Look who's coming to dinner

On Saturday morning, I brought JP to a family brunch. It was definitely a big deal because it was the first time my family met him and the first time JP was introduced to the family of someone he was dating. JP was so nervous, but he got a lot of encouragement from his Facebook friends. Their advice included "Don't be gay", "No loud barking sounds and you will be GOOOOD!!", "Short sentences, no singing." and my favorite, "They will love you! But keep jazz-hands to a minimum."

The whole family showed up: both of my parents, my brother and his family of four and my sister and her family of four. We had a full table.

Everyone got along great as we dined on burgers and talked about the events of the week. JP's burger being a veggie burger, of course.
