Mother's Day

 We had a wonderful Mother's Day here.  The sun was shining, the weather was warm and the flowers are blooming!

Our girls and their families came over Saturday evening to celebrate Mothers Day and we had such a nice time.
Aaron had smoked a pork roast and made pulled pork sandwiches which were so good!
The best part was seeing the grandkids interact.  Cassie is getting old enough that she likes playing with others and Alaina and Ruby have always loved doing things with her.


Cassie is still doing this funny smile when she sees that I am talking her picture.




She was eating supper here, but then starting fooling around with Alaina.




Showing us her nose.





And showing us Alaina's nose!



Alaina and Ruby made her a cape with some tissue paper and said she was Super Baby.  Ruby was reading her a book here.




Laura made this fabulous cake.




It's a Copycat recipe of Olive Gardens Black Tie Mousse Cake, and it was delicious!



Here's my attempts to get a pic of all three girls.  Cassie just wanted to go!





But I ended up with this one.  So sweet! 
It was a wonderful time together.

Sounds like a wonderful day and a good time was had by all. Lovely to see all the cute photos.

I love that last photo of the girls! I know the pain of trying to get a good photo of everyone... and I have seven grands! Not an easy job!
Thank you for letting me know that you couldn't comment on my blog. Blogger had some real issues for me last week, several people couldn't comment and a couple of people couldn't see any posts that I posted after April 23rd. I think it's all fixed now, but I have no idea what trick I used actually was the fix! Have a great week!

What a wonderful Mother's Day, filled with family, laughter, and that 'to die for' chocolate cake!

Family is such a blessing :)

Well you know I saved that last precious photo to my file with pics of your grand girlies! That Cassie! She has quite the quirky little personality! I have a feeling we would get along famously! And how about that cake Laura made! Wow. I would not even attempt such a thing. Sounds like your celebrations were delightful and I'm glad you had a memorable Mother's Day! xoxo
