UncategorizedMore Party Details June 1, 2012I posted about our family’s Memorial Day party on Tuesday. Thank y’all so much for the sweet comments on the party! We loved the decor and had the best time. I was so happy to share it with everybody. I had said that I would post the menu and some family photos from the party on Wednesday, but as y’all see, that didn’t happen. Y’all forgive me. Wednesday was my last day with students, which I had mixed emotions about. And the last two days have been swamped getting grades finished and everything finished up for the year. I’m going to post more on all of this later, but as a result, I’m just now getting to this post. I’ve gotten such sweet comments about our Memorial Day party decoration and seen some people pinning it on Pinterest – thanks for that, guys!!! I really loved the decorations… And the food was delicious… Our Menu: Smoked Chicken – thanks dad! Deviled Eggs Potato Salad Baked Beans (my mom has a special recipe on these and they are awesome!) Fruit Salad My Grandmother’s Banana Pudding (amazing stuff) Homemade Peach and Strawberry Ice Cream Yum…I’m hungry again just thinking about it. My sweet sister, Ashley, and her husband, Daniel, made us the ice cream. Here they are serving it up… Homemade ice cream in the summer is one of my very favorite things. Ashley and Daniel did such a great job! The food and decorations were great, but my favorite part was this… Gathering around the table with family. It was so good to be all together. Here’s everybody together except Dad – he was taking the picture. My sweet mama and daddy. My brother and sister. Chris and I. Us with little one. Us with brother and sister. Me and Ash – it was so good to have her here. After dinner, we played horseshoes and some frisbee golf. One of the best parts was my Papa, who we honored with this picture on the food table: He is such a Godly, wonderful man and is always an encouragement to me. He turned 90 three months ago and here he is playing a game of horseshoes: Now, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for your patience on this post, guys! Happy Friday 🙂
