Celebrating Mama

Rainah and I came over to hang out while Justin and Jessica were in town for a bit and while we were all there, we were able to celebrate Mother's Day and mom's birthday together (unfortunately Don was working and couldn't join us). It was a gorgeous day and the kids all had a great time playing together outside before we did the cake and present thing. We all pitched in and gave mom cold hard cash so she can go buy the updated Cricut that she loves so much! Happy scrapbooking, mom! We love you!

Mother's Day 2008

After much back and forth discussion between my sisters and myself, we decided that the thing our mom would like most for Mother's Day is just for us to all be together, so we decided to take her out to brunch. Rainah and I traveled over on Saturday after Don ran the Fifth Third Riverbank Run (25K!!!!)
Justin was there from Florida working on more wedding plans with Jessica, and it was fun to get to see him. Unfortunately, Dad wasn't feeling too well, but Sunday morning, he managed to still come with us. Rainah woke up with a runny nose and I wasn't feeling so great myself. It was a yucky day out, too, but brunch was super yummy! We went to the Rock Financial Showplace and they had quite the spread; omelet stations, waffles, fruit, bacon, sausage, potatoes, cinnamon french toast, lots of other stuff, and a big dessert table with cheesecake and tons of toppings. Don was teaching so he couldn't make it :(... but it was a fun Mother's Day.
We went back to mom and dad's after and hung out (and had cake to celebrate Mom's birthday, which was May 9).
Didn't get many good photos, but here's a few:


Yum; chocolate covered pretzels


Nothin better!
