It had been ages since I had seen Claire's high school friends and their babies. I figured if I cooked they would come.  Needless to say, I was right.  That was the beginning of the Mothers & Babies Annual Luncheon.  The girls enjoyed it so much, they decided this had to be our new tradition.  Of course, I was glad to oblige.
Rice and gravy HAD to be on the menu.  On menu was pork roast (requested by Bonnie White McDonald), rice & gravy, smothered corn, white beans, a huge green salad, and hot bread.  Amber Gonsoulin Robert brought the most delicious white chocolate bread pudding for dessert.  To die for!!!!
After all the festivities were over, I needed to sit for a minute.  Well, that little sit-down turned into a much needed two hour power nap.  It's no fun getting old.

Alex and Eli's Tea Party

 


Arriving at St. Edward's Tea Party with their date.
They were so cute walking in with their "Shared" date.  There weren't enough girls to go around.
 


Alex wasn't quite into it today.
 



Eli didn't seem to be into it either.



Eli charming his date
 

Eli making his move on "their" date
 


I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have my picture taken (which I never do) with these two handsome boys.
