MOTHER'S DAY Celebration at the 94TH Aero Squadron

~

A step back in time to the days of World War I.
Including music from that era.

What a great day the Decoteau family had together on Sunday, May 3rd, at the The 94th Aero Squadron for their fabulous brunch. We celebrated Mother's Day one week early this year because some members of the family decided to go on a Carribean Cruise for Mother's Day on May 10th!!! Actually, it was wonderful to get ahead of the crowd for Mother's Day by celebrating it early!

Clams, shrimp and crab legs, along with fresh sushi.

My favorite, Eggs Benedict!

Sweet rolls and croissants as far as the eye could see!
A crepe bar, an omelet bar, fresh fruits stacked high, a full salad bar,
a luscious dessert bar with a flowing chocolate fountain
and strawberries for dipping, and champagne.

A toast! To us on Mother's Day!

Mother, Cecelia, of Betty Ann, Jack, Eddie, Al, Ray and David

Mother, Betty Ann, of John, Deborah and Robert

Mother, Ginny, of Beth, Holly and Teri

It was wonderful and all of the mothers were treated like queens.

Mommy, Beth, of Avery and Tehya

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY everyone!

This is the first day of being your wonderful age...which means everything you do

of all of those years of wisdom behind you!!!

Girlie & Nick visit Mickey & Minnie in Florida!

.
These freeways are really tough...
So much traffic...I hope we get there soon!

We don't want to miss Minnie and Mickey.

Oh look! The ocean...and some seagulls. Let's stop for a minute.

We can visit the beach...I just love to run my toes through the sand.

Ok, I'm ready. Let's go see Mickey and Minnie!

These Tiki drums are so cool...can you hear them?

Oh Mickey! You are so sweet...thanks for the kiss.

Hey, Nick, where are all the girl pirates? Am I the only one?

Bye for now, we'll be back soon!
