Was fun to get together with family and friends last evening. With more of the fam moving down to Texas our relatively small gatherings have grown into large ones. When we moved down here in 2000, I was sure that I would never see my family again. Therefore in buying a home I wasn't to concern about the layout of it. The dinning room was boxed off the kitchen making it terribly uncomfortable for LARGE groups. Even though the family room and kitchen are open concept, I have a tiny kitchen. My daughters floor plan is ideal for large groups having her dinning room located in a large open foyer area they can fit another table beside the dinning room one. Bri and Jarod are always so willing to host, which makes it a lot more comfortable for everyone.
Cousins love to get together...
The set up
The food was very patriotic in presentation. Hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the fixings. Star shaped watermelon, patio salad, and colorful serving dishes added much to the festivities. Forgot to get pictures of Bri's darling friend Annie Texas sheet cake. Got pictures of what was left of the A teams trifle, my Martha Stewart confetti bars, and the A teams cookies for dessert.
The fun! Poppers, sparklers, Roman candles, fountains, and Grand Finally filled the night sky.
So thankful to live a such a blessed nation. Surrounded with those I love, and those that have sacrificed their very lives for the freedoms I have to enjoy. God bless this great nation and those that have made it possible.
