Our Family Celebration!


It was so nice to Celebrate such wonderful events such as Fathers Day and yes My Birthday.
We Celebrated both occasion as my Birthday was only a week from Fathers Day so we thought why not have one big weekend of Family fun.
Of course I had to make dinner so it started Friday evening with the making of Paula Dean recipe for Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Which by the way was easy and fast to make.
I was up early Saturday Morning with the baking of the Birthday cake which was German Chocolate Cake which is my favorite and ot turned out wonderful I was happy with it.

The dinner was my homemade Italian Red Sauce for my Chicken Cacciatori. Garlic Bread a a herbal salad that my sister made was to die for!
Finally my family and good friends arrived! We had such a wonderful evening and shared many of stories and laughs and before we new it the evening had ended.

My friends had left and only my family stayed then it became movie time. My sister had chosen the movie and she was narrating through the entire DVD it was
painful but we had good laughs.

It was so good to have everyone over and to share birthdays and Fathers Day. A time that seemed without borders it was wonderful. I cherish all of these gatherings and would not trade them for the world as it was the greatest gift that I ever received was family being together

Always
Lydia
