First Mother's Day
I could not have asked for a better first Mother's Day. Brad made sure of that. The day started with some family cuddle time and great laughs and smiles from Colin. Then I got my cards and gifts from Colin and Brad. Colin got me a set of mixing bowls I had been wanting from William Sonoma and Brad got me a beautiful silver locket from Tiffany. It says Mom on the outside and inside he put an adorable photo of a smiling Coly Bear. He also gave me the most amazing orchid (I'll take a photo and get it up soon) and a cake from my favorite bakery. We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel, the first time since I was pregnant, with Frank and Kathy. Then we all went to Lorraine's and planted some lovely flowers for her in the back. At the end of the day we went to dinner with the Baker family, including Betheny and Bob who were in town for the weekend. After a little mexican food and some really good Mother's Day mimosas, we headed back to open gifts at Frank and Kathy's. And though she wasn't supposed to get me a gift, Kathy and Frank gave me a beautiful green vase and a Starbuck's gift card (yum!). We came home right at Colin's bed time and Colin went to down without too much fuss. Brad and I (well, mostly me) then devoured half the cake (but it was a tiny, tiny cake!). The perfect end to the perfect day!
