Merry Christmas!

Christmas started as it always does...

With Mimi and Gumpy.

Mimi hit the nail on the head with this one.

Chef Madeline has been born.

Of course....

Everyone took a turn in the Hat.

Mrs. Claus dropped off our Christmas Pajamas while we were away.

This year we *may* have forgotten to make Santa's cookies.

But Mommy assured Jack and Madeline, that cookie dough in a tupperware container is just as good as freshly made cookies and Santa would be thrilled to give the dough to Mrs. Claus to whip up after a long night of delivering presents.

Uncle Nick and Chris were on the assembly line this year.

Here is the living room before I went to bed.

(Do you see my new coffee table from Clay's parents??? Merry Christmas to me! Love it!)

In the morning, Maddie couldn't be bothered with present opening. She was hungry. And She didn't mind one bit that we waited for her to scarf down some cereal before Christmas could begin. 1200 presents under the tree and all my kid wants is Cherrios and milk.

Uncle Nick went all out this year.

Madeline got a new BMW convertible with dual speeds

and Jack got a power scooter.

Brit and I always find something fun when we shop together.

;)

Santa was pretty good to me this year too....

Merry, Happy Christmas!!!

Mother's Day 2012

Mother's day weekend started at the lake!

We decided to drive up and surprise my Mom this year for Mother's day. I even convinced my brothers to make the drive, so Mom would have all her kids Mother's day weekend.

She was so happy.

It's so nice when you can bring some joy to your Mom.

Maddie couldn't wait.

She had to get in the Tuba.

She is a water baby.

Opa let her drive the boat.

She thought that was very cool.

Daddy gave lots of rides on the JetSki.

But Maddie thought Daddy went too fast

So she opted for a slower ride...

Henry tested the new dog ramp.

He loved the lake.

Madeline had her fill of fun..

So we headed back to Mom's for some sleep.

I didn't think of taking a photo of us until 11 at night.

We are both completely wiped out in this photo.

(I showed up to surprise Mom in the shirt above. I found it at Old Navy. It says "I *heart* Mom" She loved it.)

Sunday Morning we had a champagne breakfast complete with gifts.

Three Generations

Here is my new handbag.

Let me bring it in closer for you.

Eat your heart out Kate Spade.

;)

Jackie made me a wallet to go in it.

And both of them were interviewed by their teachers about Me, their answers are hilarious.

Mom also interviewed the two of them, and framed their answers for me.

So nice!

Since it was Mother's day, the kitchen was closed.

MMMMmmmm Pizza.

Ollalieberry Pie.

Tart but delish!

A Quick Hi to Gram.

And two kids ready for Night Night.

I feel like this weekend had 100 hours packed into 48.

I'm exhausted.

But so Thankful for all that I have.

Happy Mother's day to all my favorite Mom's out there....You know who you are!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Weekend in Pictures

Lately I've been cooking... A. LOT.

So Friday night was homemade meatball night.

Wanna know what goes good with Meatballs?

Ketchup.

Henry aka Meatball thief.
(He enjoys Heinz on his)

Saturday was all things Mom.

Mom-O de Mayo if you will.
Momare loves her some Margaritas on the rocks.

I made her a german chocolate cake for dessert.
(her fav-I'll take my daughter of the year trophy now)

Ben not to be out done...and since he works for Safeway....

Sunday Morning this was dropped off for My Mothers enjoyment.

Mom and I went early to The Alameda Antique fair...no photos to share...we were in and out in no time...no great finds this month...maybe June will be more successful- that place really is the more the merrier....

Daddy had to work all day Sunday
So upon my return from the fair, it was Just Mom.
