We had crabcakes, lobster bisque, halibut and cream burlee-

It was Fabulous

Unfortunately I did not get any pictures at dinner on Thurs night.
We went to my cousin Kathryn's house- Mimi cooked yummy lasagna
The house was filled with kids playing (Brent, Cole, Hannah, Brooke, Ryan and Austin)
Great dinner conversation with my cousins Kathryn, Debra and their husbands (Greg and Harvey) and Mimi
The night ended with fabulous cheesecake made by Debra!
Thanks for having us- we had a wonderful time.
