Mimmy's Birthday Dinner

Yesterday was the first weekend after my mom's birthday, so I had my parents and Kyle's parents up for dinner to celebrate. We made brandy chicken in a paprika cream sauce, bacon-wrapped scallops, wild mushroom and asparagus risotto, sour dough garlic bread, and salad with lemon vinaigrette. I also attempted a spiced souffle, but it ended up a spiced cake, boo. Oh well, it tasted good. While I was cooking, Kyle and the grand parents entertained Audrey.

After Grammy, Gramps, Mimmy-the-birthday-girl, and Pappy arrived, dinner was served! For once, dinner was actually served when I said it would be (I'm always late)! Audrey really enjoyed her risotto...

Kyle lit the candles... and part of a gift...

Dishing up!
