Mother's Day

This year we had a changing of the guard for Mother's Day. My mother has always hosted us on Mother's day as well as my two grandmothers. My grandmother(Gamma)passed away before Thanksgiving last year, so this year for Mother's day , I hosted my parents as well as my grandmother(Granny) and my sister and her family for a Mother's Day lunch! We had a delightful afternoon. The morning was a bit chaotic as we were scurrying around trying to do last minute cleaning before getting ready to go to our early service at church so we could get home and prepare lunch for everyone. It never is an easy feat to get our whole crew out the door in a timely manner! But we regrouped and pulled off a nice lunch and afternoon. We grilled tilapia with mango salsa and mashed potatoes and my sister brought an apple walnut salad , corn pudding and an ice cream pie for dessert! Yummy!!!

We watched as the little ones dressed up like princesses.....

And managed to con the big ones to smile for the camera too.........

Granny and Paw-Paw(my dad)

My mother and her girls

Mimi and her brood

Me and my blessings!


And as full as my heart was with my precious children surrounding me, there was no mistaking the longing in my heart to have this little one home and in my arms......

Happy Mother's Day!!
