Mike and Amanda's Wedding

My nephew Mike married his beautiful bride, Amanda,
on the same Saturday as First Communion and Baptism!
We were unable to attend the wedding, but 
were at their wedding reception
and it was fabulous!
Warning - a little photo heavy on this post!


Such a beautiful couple!  
Mike came down with the flu a day or two earlier and
was not really feeling his best.


Here he is with his Mom (my twin) having a dance!


The reception was so much fun!  
The photo booth was a blast - and no one was
participating until we started!
Don't you love Rickster in his bow tie
while the rest of us are goofing off!


We had the best time. 
 It's been ages since we've had
a wedding to attend. 
Seems like most family gatherings
in the last few years have sadly been funerals.
We were delighted to have a happy occasion.


There was dancing!!
Philip and his 4 oldest kiddos attended and had a blast!


They had a huge variety of Bundt Cakes instead
of a traditional wedding cake!
More cake sounds right to me!


Rickster and the boys - Philip and Connor
with little Dorothy as photobomber,



The happy couple spent their honeymoon in Hawaii!
Congrats to Mike and Amanda!

Brunch for Mother's Day!

One of my favorite ways to celebrate 
Mother's Day is to have brunch 
with the family!
No cooking for this Momma!
This year, we ended up having two brunches . . . 
am I lucky or what!

Connor, moi and Maddie

Philip and his family couldn't make it to the first
one, so we went to brunch again the next
weekend to celebrate with them.

Mr. Tennis, aka The Rickster, Maddie, me and Connor -
doesn't my hair look good - even with that tree growing out of my head!

I know I'm not the best cook -- but really -- doesn't
brunch prepared by someone else always taste fabulous!





And don't even get me started on Mimosas!
Love, Love, Love!
Why yes, I do believe I had 3 Mimosas at Mother's Day Brunch.
One to celebrate each child, of course!

And later, another favorite way to celebrate
a visit to the zoo with Maddie and a wee little nap!
Could it be that the 3 Mimosas made me a little sleepy???

Philip, Jane, Harry, Walt, Catherine and Dorothy

It was a fabulous Mother's Day and
wonderful celebrations.
I am blessed to have such a wonderful
family!
