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.
