MOTHER'S DAY DINNER AT GRANDMA'S

This past Sunday we all had dinner at grandma's. It was also the first time for Mimi to meet her Uncle John who was visiting from Reno, Nevada. Uncle John says that both he and his son (who was visiting with his mom in Everett) was able to get a good deal on airfares so they took advantage of it. Uncle John is grandma's oldest son from her first marriage.

MOM'S A INTERNET CELEBRITY

This past Mother's Day, mom's friend and co-worker JC sent this clip to her.

MAKING BROWNIES

This afternoon we will all be heading over to grandma's for Mother's Day dinner. Mom suggested that we have dinner at our house but grandma is the boss and she says that she wants to cook the dinner so that's the plan. As part of her present and the dessert Mimi made the brownies with just a smidgen of help from mom. Of course the best part of making brownies is licking the dough off the spatula while the brownies are in the oven. Can you smell the brownies????

DINNER DATE

The kids all had a blast together. When dinner was over we all walked down to the park to play some more. Mom was having so much fun with everyone that she lost all sense of time especially now that it is getting closer to the solstice season when it does not get dark here till 9:00 in the evening. The picture of the silly faces was taken at 8:30 this evening.

MIMI'S VERY FIRST DINNER DATE

For quite some time Mimi has been wanting to get together with her twim friends Ethan and Kate but we could never get our schedules to gel together. Finally mom just invited them over to the house for a spagetti dinner. Mimi was super excited about it. She is now just getting interested in preparing meals which is quite alright with me. Here she is making meatballs for the spagetti.

WE'RE HAVING A PICNIC

After breakfast Mimi thought it would be a great idea to have a picnic for lunch and everyone is invited. Yummy!

OUR TOWN

Today as every Saturday morning, Mimi and dad went out to their usual father/daughter breakfast. Mom gave them the camera to take pictures however dad forgot all about it. Mimi on the other hand thought it would be better to take a video of the highway on their way to breakfast.
