Today it was my turn to host the official family Mother's Day lunch. It was my turn because I said, "Hey, wanna come over?" LOL. We are so formal in our family.
I hate to toot my own horn on the cooking thing, but lunch was GOOD. My Dad even told me the potatoes were good and that is a Christmas miracle. It was a cheesy hash brown dish that bordered dangerously on a casserole - and he's not fond of casseroles. And I think he ate about 7 of the orange cookies I made, so they must have been good.
Here's the women of the family - at least those present today. Me...Aunt B (Mom's YOUNGER sister), Mom, and my sister, Julie.
Dad playing with the grandcats. They were quite interested in the plant Mom got from Aunt B.
Braeya - nosy little critter, isn't she? Her mom should teach her some manners.
Sorry for the bad lighting situation. Mom said it was her halo shining too brightly. My nice little square table works so nicely - except for when there are five people! LOL.
Julie and Mom
Me with the Mama
You can't see this too well because of the glare, but her gift from me was a framed set of her mom's senior picture, her senior picture, and my senior picture. I had them all done in black and white and it looked pretty cool. There's a very strong resemblance with the three of us, so it was kind of a cool picture.
Oh and look - above - you can see the little cherry tarts!
While Julie was here, she gave me my birthday present. It was Mary Kay perfume and lotion. Exotic Passionfruit. Mmmmmmmmm.

Ah, Bekah! You are a wonderful daughter to think of the three senior photos! I'll bet your mom as just happy and proud as can be!
And see? Your cooking was great despite your coughing! (Would a dad lie on Mother's Day? No way!)
Your sister and you look a lot alike. I think it's neat that it was your mom and her sister and you and your sister, and then your poor dad and the grandkids! Betcha he had fun with the kitties!
Hope you are feeling better! Your birthday should be a really great one!
Tsofah - The thought to do the picture just kind of popped in my head last January. I have yet to think of something to equal it for my Dad - IN A MONTH.
I prayed over the food - that any residual germs wouldn't kill anyone. :)
Julie and I look a lot like Mom's side of the family, although Julie has spent considerably more time in the sun!!
Dad LOVES the kitties. He has lots of fun with them.
