My awesome Parents-in-Law threw us a Texas reception the beginning of June. Being from Namibia (Africa), they decided to keep things a little more casual and host a Braai (an African-style BBQ) instead of a big dressy event. (THANK YOU!) It was great to spend some time in Texas, I love it more every time I'm down there. I got to meet a bunch of the wardies and Greiner family friends, too! My whole side of the family came down to Texas as their summer family vacation, so they got to come also. It was so fun and very authentic. We had the most amazing food, great company and a beautiful setting (the Greiner's backyard). I think my favorite part was watching X-Men Origins after the party outside on Karl's flat screen. Amazing! Thank you so so so so so much to everyone that helped. It was such a great time and Gregor and I were so grateful to have it! LOVE YA'LL!!!
Here are some pics from the Braai. Enjoy!
My Mama and sister Kate before the Braai getting things started.
Hilary and Kathy. Aren't they cute? Hilary's baby is due in October. First Greiner grandkid!
My Dad and Opa. They were buds right off the bat.
Some of the spread. We had the best food there. The decorations were pretty awesome. The pictures don't do them justice.
Papa making the gouda and tomato sandwiches on homemade bread on the homemade grill. Holy crap, I love Texas.
Meeting people was pretty fun, but I think I wanted to spend more time next to my cute husband. The picture-through-the-window effect is pretty cool, right?
Real African flowers. I can't remember what they're called, but they're awesome!
