Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers out there.
We had my family over on Saturday. I wanted to make a nice meal for my Mom. She is always the one cooking for everyone and I wanted to give her a break.
Mike grilled steak, chicken and onions and it was so delicious.
I made rosemary potatoes, Chinese slaw, broccoli bake and we ended the day with an ice cream cake. My brothers birthdays are in May so we celebrated that also.
It was a beautiful day. They got to see the chickens and we got to play Pass the Pigs and Sequence.
Family time is always so special. The older I get the more I appreciate it.

Wow Elizabeth! That sounds scrumptious! :) I bet you all had lots of fun! I still have to get Pass the Pigs... we really enjoyed playing that with you guys!
you don't play hand and foot anymore?
Could you pass on the Chinese slaw recipe? It all sounds so delicious. I'm glad to hear you had a great day with your family!
Hugs!
We could never find Pass the Pigs at any store so I actually bought it off Amazon.
We do still play hand and foot but that is a much longer game and Rachel can't play that game yet. She has fun throwing the pigs and does pretty good with Sequence.
I guess I could have added the recipe to my post :-)
Here is the recipe that was shared with me. I actually doubles the dressing to make sure I had enough.
