We had a lovely Mother's Day weekend. Saturday the girls and I went to a lovely tea that was put on by some of the Kindergarten Mom's at Kate's school.
 The tea was adorable. I am trying to convince one of my girls to have a Tea Party Birthday Party!
We got our picture taken & they made these adorable frames at the tea party for Mother's Day.

 I enjoyed my donut & coffee in bed :)
The 2 dozen roses they gave me. Gorgeous.

Kevin, vacuuming the couch. What a guy!

They sent me out of the house (in Kevin's car) so that Kevin could wash & clean out my car.
I enjoyed a quiet trip to Target (by myself!!!) and I also went and got a mani/pedi.
So relaxing, so thankful for my awesome husband giving me the day "off"
 After I got home it was time to get ready for our Mother's Day Dinner.
Because we live within 5 minutes of our parents & siblings (So blessed!), we decided to host Mother's Day Dinner at our house. That way, we could celebrate Mother's Day with BOTH of our Mom's and not run around all day splitting up time between our families.
We are also extremely blessed that my parents and Kevin's parents get along fabulously.
Our parents, chilling poolside with Luke:

 The weather was gorgeous so we had the entire get together outside so the kids could swim.
My sisters brought the appetizers.

My sister's first Mother's Day!

My first Mother's Day as a boy mom! Love, love, love this kid.

First Mother's Day as a mom of THREE!

I LOVED all the handmade cards they made me. Please note the envelope Kate made me with the SF on it, for the San Francisco Giants. She knows (and shares) my love of the Giants.

And, the cards they made me? Covered in Fall Decorations because they know Fall is my FAVORITE and that I LOVE FALL.

This card? Made me tear up.

Love what Kate made at school. That's ME! :)
 Look what my sister in law made my my mother law? I want it!

For dinner, we grilled some Salmon on the BBQ.  Yum!

And, a bunch of yummy sides!

My sisters & I with our mom:

Kevin & his brother with their mom:

 It was such a nice, relaxing time. Truly, a great, great, day.

As my Father-In-Law was leaving our house Sunday night, I said,
"Thank you for coming over. I am so glad that you & my parents like each other. It is just easier to celebrate some holidays all together"
His response?  
"We don't just like each other, we LOVE each other." 

And, that my friends is how I teared up for the approximately the 42nd time on Mother's Day.
