Mom's Day BBQ

Alyssa and I chose Mother's Day as the first holiday we hosted at our home. We had the parents and siblings over as well as the grandparents. It was a slightly cool and windy day but the sun fought through the clouds enough to keep us reasonably warm. There was an obscene amount of food; hot links, hot dogs, and bell peppers and onions off the BBQ as well as a pasta salad, Christi's potato salad and cheese plate and Alyssa's THREE homemade desserts (lemon sorbet, vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, and homemade oreo's). Calling them oreo's is selling them short though, they were delicious!
I'd show you all the fabulous pictures we took of everyone having a great time as well as all the delicious food but we didn't take any pictures. Oh well, there's always next year.
