Girls, Girls, Girls

On Saturday morning all the Georgia ladies of the family piled into the Lucas wagon for a day trip to Knoxville.  The occasion?  My fabulous Aunt Sylvia hosted a mother/daughter brunch in honor of Mother's Day.  When we arrived at Syl's we met up with Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Charlotte in addition to many more ladies--Sylvia's daughters-in-law, their mothers, sisters, daughters, and even one handsome little son who was 3 going on 70:).  It was super special to spend a day with everyone and just to remind myself what awesome women I have in my family.

Once we got there Maggi and Molly spent LOTS of time playing with this cute little kitchen Sylvia found at the Classy Flea in Marietta and Sophi dug right in to the goody buckets!:

I meant to get pictures of all the yummy food--I'm a sucker for luncheon food in pretty serving dishes--but alas, I was too busy eating it...tomato pie, spinach mushroom quiche, couscous salad, ham, fruit, muffins, a cinnamon wheel.  YUM.  And here are some sweet little teacups that Syl's granddaughter made for the kids:

Cute, huh?  Top of an icecream cone on a cookie with a gummy peach ring  for the handle.

Love this one of Maggi and Karma!:

And here are Grandma Dot and Marci sharing a smile:

Here we are gathering to pray:

Aunt Sylvia and her nieces:

Sophi, Clark and Sophie eating on a tuffet (that's what it looks like to me anyway):

It was fun to have 4 generations to take pictures with.  I love this one of all the Roach girls with Grandma:

And here are the Bounds sisters with their mother:

Dad stopped by when "official" girl time was done.  Here he is with Charlotte:

And here are the Bounds and Roach girls

And here we are with the little girls too!  A hard pic to get for sure but everyone's there in body if not in face:)!:

Here's another special picture.  Don't know how long it's been since we've taken a Roach family picture with the 5 of us:

So glad we got in a bit of Granddaddy time on mother/daughter day:

Thank you, Sylvia, for such a special opportunity and for such a lovely (and delicious) time together. 

Happy Mother's Day!

When we got back home that same evening Ryan had a special early Mother's Day surprise for me.  I hope to show pics of that soon!!
