Mother's Day Celebration

 Who knew that this table

could grow into this table???

I thought it was going to be all complicated

 but..

all I had to do is pull out each end of the table

and waaa-laaa

10 +1 place settings

for all my special mom's

and their spouses

A family gathering isn't a gathering without a kid's table

Breads and Cheeses

(my favorites)

This is the dessert and drink table

Wine...

more wine...

water and soft drinks

more water...

this is so simple and has such a wow factor

just throw blueberries and lemons or limes in a pitcher of water

Dessert
Mini angel foods cakes from Costco
with toppings-
whipped cream, sliced strawberries, blueberries, bananas,
Dread Head Chef's Strawberry Mango Salsa and Pineapple Banana Macadamia Nut Salsa

and of course, something chocolate

(and folks, it looks like bundt is just a part of our lives)

this is a bundt cake that my friend, Wendy brought
