We had a fantastic time celebrating Memorial Day on Sunday with food, family & friends!
Our son, Bobby, invited some good friends since elementary school days to join us for the celebration.
Jeremy, Justin & Bobby
Jeremy & Justin were both in my 3rd grade class.
What wonderful men they have grown up to be!
Jeremy & Justin are both Veterans of the war in Iraq.
Jeremy is still serving in the Army & is being relocated to Ft. Benning, GA from Hawaii.
Thank you guys for your service to our country!

children Cadence & Colton.
Silly me didn't take pictures of everyone!
We were so busy having fun!
We had a wonderful time enjoying our meal around this table.
Our 'Smoked Meat Fests' have become a tradition for
the 3 summer celebrations,
Memorial Day, 4th of July & Labor Day.
It's a lot of work, but so worth it!
My sister was a tremendous help for this event.
She was a great sous chef!
I'd make the mess & she'd clean it up.
I tried a new recipe from Pinterest for our meal.
It was a hit!

Fun was had by all. Day of relaxation. ; )
Looks like you had a great day! The corn casserole looked so good. I have been wanting to try it since I have seen it on Pinterest too :)
Love your table setting and the food must have been so good. I have done the corn casserole and we liked it.
Hmmm...the corn casserole sounds yummy. I like the concept of a sous chef. Wonder who'd like to apply in my family? How terrific to have vets to honor at your Memorial Day dinner! I thank them for their service as well.
Sounds like you had a great day, too. Celebrating with family and/or close friends just can't be beat.

What a festive table. And I will try that corn casserole. I have a similar recipe that includes macaroni, but I think my gang might like this better.
