Mother's Day started out a little strange. Mr. Tennis thought it was a workday -- and kept telling me (and pushing me) to get out of bed at 6:05 AM or I'd be late for work! HUH??? Luckily, I convinced him that he was a day off, so got to sleep until 7:15 am while Mr. Tennis slept until 9:30 AM. Hmmm -- it wasn't Father's Day, was it?? Wasn't I was supposed to be the one sleeping late?! :)
No matter -- since I was up, I baked a yummy lemon cake with glaze for my Mother -- her favorite cake and one she often made for her Mother. Yes, I am trying to keep some traditions going. Plus, I baked chocolate chip cookies for my Dad! Pat me right on the back -- I am that sweet daughter!! We visited my folks and took supplies to grill out at their house and make dinner. It turned out pretty darn yummy -- especially dessert, which, truth be told, is my favorite part of every meal!
And I decided to start a little tradition of my own and try and get a photo of me with the kids or at least the one that is around the most -- Miss Maddy. Even with her missing teeth grimace, she's my little sweetie!
