This is a picture of the guests and hostess.  My son was also there but is not pictured as he was behind the camera.  Left to right around the table:  Me, my Dad, my Mom, my MIL, my daughter, and my husband.

This is the gals that were honoured along with our hostess, my DD.  Standing, left to right:  My mother, Me, my daughter, and sitting:  my MIL.

This was the perfect way to spend time on Mother's Day!

Memories

Both of our kids are getting married this year.  Our son is getting married on June 17 and our daughter is getting married on September 1. 

Both kids are planning slide shows to be shown during their wedding receptions.  Because they needed pictures of themselves as they were growing up, we spent the better part of a weekend going through old photos and scanning them into the computer. 

Going through these pictures brought back many happy memories for me.  These are some of my favorites.

Me and our daughter after the "goat incident".  We were at a petting zoo and the goat that my daughter was petting decided to chew on her shirt tail.  Our daughter was not impressed!
