Yes, that would be right. The southern cousins had not met our little pooch yet. They loved her (although one of the nieces insisted Jedi was a "he").
They each had to have a turn driving the leash.
longed to be part of the action!
The food, which is a part of any good family gathering, was amazing. Mom saw a centerpiece in a magazine that she wanted to try. So she assembled the base for a topiary. My younger sister and I decorated it with cupcakes. Let me put it this way, I baked the cupcakes. Sudeana placed the cupcakes on the tree, and we both iced them into the blossoms on the tree.
It was a lot of fun. We even brought in an engineer to help keep the topiary from falling over because the center of gravity was a little off. He did some deep thinking over the matter...
Seriously, my wonderful honey supervised the outside crew the majority of the time they spent in the breezy, chilly yard.
They best thing about our Mother's Day super busy weekend...
fun with the family!
I hope everyone had a super Mother's Day as well.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this weekend more than anyone. I love having our girls home especially with their families all at once. We missed Darrin, Cole and Mark alot. Loved the topiary expericnce although you forgot to mention that while we held our breath the topiary held 164 cupcakes. Fun, Fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd everyone arrived back home safely. LOVE MOM
I agree, it was a blast. No where else I would rather take on the task of such a great assembly. AND no one I'd rather assemble such a task with! Did anyone mention that Grandma was actually routing for the topiary to fall while everyone else was busy filling their plates?! No wonder its so fun to all be together! Love you all!!!
