We had a wonderful family dinner this past weekend as we celebrated my DMIL's birthday.
One of the gifts we gave her was the table runner I finished quilting a few weeks ago.
It is rare to be able to get all of my kids together and it is time that I cherish more than any other.
We all met at Mass and then afterwards met the birthday girl, my BIL and FIL at the restaurant.
We had a wonderful evening!!!
Now, on to my list....
