BLESSED I AM...

FATHER'S DAY FAMILY TIME
 I just love it when my kitchen is SWARMING with ...
FAMILY
 Not all our grands could be here with us this time 
and they were sorely missed.
 DEEDS and her momma..
she is just nearly as tall....
 Deeds with her BFF....
they are 9 years old...AMAZING
 FOUR of the most beautiful granddaughters in the world.
There's 3 more beauties in this family, too.
TEXTING...
what in the world did GIRLS and BOYS do before it came along....?
WHAT !!?!!
All the laughing and loving being with each other
makes my heart sing like nothing else will..
♥♥♥
MR. SWEET tearing into his FATHER'S DAY gifts...
NOTICE THOSE CUTE BAGS ...?
I sure did...:))

I can see a TABLESCAPE in the future with
BAGS 
for a CENTERPIECE...
Why not !!
I didn't get photos of the 
SPIRAL HAM
MASHED POTATOES
GREEN TOSSED SALAD
BEANS
CHEESE ROLLS
BUT...
I did get a photo of our dessert....:O)

What a wonderful day. We missed it this year because MyHero got called out of town to fill in for a Pastor taking a much needed vacation. We came home late Sunday and only saw our son and daughter-in-love..which was wonderful but different because not all the kids were there as they are usually. I love those days when my kitchen is a mess because there is a gang making messes. The messes clean up in short order but the memories last forever. Great post here today! xo Diana

Oh I am so with you. When the house is literally crawling with the children, grands and all the spouses, I am in hog heaven. Looks like a fabulous day. So glad you could all be together. Hugs, Marty

Sarah said...

Oh, what a wonderful family celebration. I know those grands enjoy being with you and Mr. Sweet. The photo of the texting is so funny. Truly classic!
I'll have some of those strawberries with cream. ~ sarah

Looks like you all had a great time BJ! I love that you have your priorities straight, the dessert is beautiful:@)

Debbie said...

Surely, those pictures exemplify what I call The Good Life! You have a beautiful family.

And in answer to the question? Why, they talked on the phone, of course. The land line... and tied it up until we told them to get off.

Or so my mother says...

Kathleen Grace said...

And this is why we make our homes as welcoming and warm as we can, to fill it with the people we love! What a wonderful time together you had, you have a happy, gorgeous family, you really are blessed:>)

The dessert looks fabulous!

WOMAN IN THE SCARLET COAT

Woman in the scarlet coat,
Are you heading for a boat?
Or perhaps you need a bus
To get far away from us.
Whether wheels or sails you take
Don’t forget the chocolate cake
To sustain you on your way;
Red-clad damsel, now we say,
“Go with grace, enjoy the ride,
See you on the other side!”

The only time I like people in the kitchen is if they are in there cleaning up! Otherwise all the chatter distracts me , and dinner doesn't arrive the way it should! :)
looks like another fun day. We have to split so dil can see her dad too, so I got brunch this year.

Hi Bj

What a festive day. Wow - a full house for sure. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time. Had a good laugh at the texting photo and what you said is so true. The strawberry dessert ( yumm-o)looks like the perfect way to end a fun meal all together.
My best- Diane
