the kids table….
dear dacor range, how did I ever live without you?
the big kids table…
parker House Rolls, ten years running
my reason for living
happy-tizers
a few of my favorite people
step away from the chocolate-orange dream cake
right out of the oven
a few more people I love….
the feasting begins
the carnage
the clean-up crew (my brother and sister whom i affectionately call ‘brother’ and ‘sister’)
still cleaning
we didn’t eat a thing, lookin’ slim and trim
that’s my story and i’m stickin’ to it.
Hope your day was filled with all the things you love!
and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.
