Mother's Day

We had quite a crowd: Courtney, Joanne, my Mom, Dennis, Nick, Sam, Matt, and Gee over for Mother's Day dinner. 11 people at the table, our biggest sit down dinner to date. It went really well. Though I got so busy I didn't get to take any pictures (except a 'before' shot of the table all set up with the lovely Harris china I was given by Phyllis a few years ago, and then an 'after' shot of Schuyler playing around while we removed the leaves of the table). We finally got to try out our fully extended dining room table with all the leaves in it. After years and years of tiny tables and mismatched chairs, we finally bought a "real" dining set. The table is so big when extended it practically fills up our entire house. Though somehow it didn't feel terribly crowded, which was a relief.
