American Mother's Day

Sunday was Mother's Day and instead of going out and dealing with crowds and pushy waiters, we decided to spend the day at home.  So we had our own brunch :)

Everyone came over to our house for carne asada, eggs, breakfast potatoes and some amazing tortilla's (home made from pico de gallo).  For dessert, Mommy's favorite lemon cake with lemon frosting :)

It wasn't the prettiest day, but we played a few games of croquet and actually got everyone to get together for pictures.

We really don't take enough family pictures

So these should hold us over for a couple of years, lol!

Of course one of us had to actually take the picture.  Anthony and Laura were able to set their camera so that we could all get in.  I'll hopefully receive some of those pictures this week.  This was the first year that Laura had off so we enjoyed having everyone together.  It's amazing how competitive croquet can be!  Mom had a great day.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother's Day

This last weekend was a busy one. I got my haircut, we had our new buffet table delivered and we went to my cousins graduation party. Chris graduated with her Masters degree in Clinical Psychiatry from Vanguard University. She had a bbq on Saturday night to celebrate and it was a very nice evening. But the highlight of the weekend was Mother's Day on Sunday.

We had my parents and Anthony over for a bbq at the house. We cooked carnitas and carne asada and it was so good. My Mom enjoyed the day. It wasn't as warm as Saturday unfortunately so we ate inside but it was still a nice day.

The best part of the meal, of course, was dessert! We had homemade lemon cake, made with lemons from our own garden. It was lemon cake, with lemon curd filling and lemon frosting! Can you tell that my Mom loves lemon desserts, lol. It was delicious. I hope all the Mother's out there had a wonderful day and didn't have to do much of anything but enjoy their families :)
