Mother's Day

Wow! This month has just flown by and I haven't really posted anything! I figured it would be nice to recount my first real Mother's Day! Last year was an almost Mother's Day, because I was pregnant with Alexander. Scott's family was so sweet and covered their entire coffee table with gifts for Alexander that they gave me on Mother's Day. It was super sweet!

This year we went out with Scott's parents (Russ and Diane), grandparents (Jim and Janine) and sister (Amy), to a Mother's Day breakfast at Kneaders. It was super yummy! They had a special going on Saturday, where you could get free french toast if you were a mom. So half of us got free french toast! Unfortunately, I neglected to take any pictures at the brunch, but it was a fun time.

Scott spoiled me for Mother's Day and got me cards from him and Alexander, a beautiful heart-shaped sapphire necklace, and some flowers. I still have neglected to take a picture of the necklace, so I will have to do that and add it here later. Alexander's card was super cute. It was a Cookie Monster card and it said "Cookies may be for sometimes....but you're an anytime Mommy!" It was fun because Alexander is super into Sesame Street right now. He watches it every morning after breakfast. Luckily we have Netflix, so it is easy to do!

For Mother's Day, we went to Russ and Diane's house for dinner. Amy made us dinner, and I brought the desert. I decided to take the lazy way out and let Wal-Mart do the baking. Since Russ doesn't like chocolate, and the rest of us do, we got a chocolate cake with vanilla cupcakes. They were super yummy. I think the best part of Mother's Day was that dinner wasn't ready on time. So we decided to eat our salad first, then dessert, then dinner. Super fun! Anyway, my Mother's Day was great. Below are some pictures for your enjoyment :)

 Well, that is all for this post. Tune in next time for something unbelievable!!!!!
