Happy Mother's Day
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.

Hugs!
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 :-)
