Happy Mother's Day!

Preparations started days before with Shana carefully planning the meal, creating lovely decorations, and delegating cooking assignments.

Then the day of the crew began putting everything together as Mommy sat upstairs working on her blanket project (which is turning out quite nicely).

The head chef was at work in the kitchen putting together ham pie, raspberry lemonade, lemon piccata chicken, and rice while her "helper" put together very strange sorbet cookies.

The rest of the meal (delicate cucumber sandwiches, romaine hearts with goat cheese dressing, and divine lemon pies) came with the arrival of the rest of the family. Everything was carefully arranged before Mother came downstairs.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and sharing memories about Mom and Mom mom, as well as the wonderful woman in the family who take care of their children and family members so well. We're so grateful for all of the woman in our lives who have contributed to our growth and happiness. Happy Mother's Day to you all!
