First party

I'm exhausted. Lance is exhausted. We had our families over for Mother's Day last night (and my mom's birthday) and the preparation involved tuckered us out a bit. We've been working like crazy to renovate and clean up the house, but it all paid off because I'm pretty pleased as to how our house looks now. This was our first party here and actually it was our first family party ever since our townhouse was too small to hold everyone. For various reasons, I was worried that we weren't going to have enough food so I made kind of a lot (Lance thought I was crazy), but my family all brought a lot of food so we were all very well fed. It was funny because hosting a family party seemed very adult-like, which my mom realized early in the evening and apparently looking at her adult daughter left her speechless. As I refilled the tray of spinach rolls, my cousin (who's only a year younger than me, for heaven's sakes) teased that I had become one of the "moms" to which I responded with my traditional "bite me." Me, an adult?

The picture was taken last night and is of my popo, dad, uncle, and aunty.
