extravaganza

Normally our family get-togethers are fairly laid back affairs, but we had some extended family and friends at Jacob’s birthday celebration/Mother’s Day dinner this afternoon and it was a bit more rambunctious than most.

Since we were hosting so many people and were not able to do the cookout thing due to the weather (therefore everyone had to hang out in the house), Buster was shipped off to doggy daycare (he’s still pissed about that). Lizzy spent most of her time in the crate in the bedroom. Only Alice was left to her own devices.

I cooked a ton of food and got the house in shape yesterday. We have a bunch of leftovers, so I guess I won’t need to cook for a couple of days and that’s fine with me. I think everyone had a good time–I know we did.
