Brunch for Mother's Day!

One of my favorite ways to celebrate 

Mother's Day is to have brunch 

with the family!

No cooking for this Momma!

This year, we ended up having two brunches . . . 

am I lucky or what!

Connor, moi and Maddie

Philip and his family couldn't make it to the first

one, so we went to brunch again the next

weekend to celebrate with them.

Mr. Tennis, aka The Rickster, Maddie, me and Connor -
doesn't my hair look good - even with that tree growing out of my head!

I know I'm not the best cook -- but really -- doesn't

brunch prepared by someone else always taste fabulous!

And don't even get me started on Mimosas!

Love, Love, Love!

Why yes, I do believe I had 3 Mimosas at Mother's Day Brunch.

One to celebrate each child, of course!

And later, another favorite way to celebrate

a visit to the zoo with Maddie and a wee little nap!

Could it be that the 3 Mimosas made me a little sleepy???

Philip, Jane, Harry, Walt, Catherine and Dorothy

It was a fabulous Mother's Day and

wonderful celebrations.

I am blessed to have such a wonderful

family!

Easter Weekend Update!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Easter weekend is always so special!

Before the Easter break, Maddy and I made some special Hershey kiss jars for

her friends at school and

 also put together some Easter baskets for the Littles!

We had so much fun picking out special things for Janie, Walt and Harry!

On Easter morning, Mr. Tennis, Maddy and I went to the early 

7:30 AM Mass and it was packed!

We had a brunch reservation later, so went home to read the 

newspaper (think we are among the few who still get the newspaper, but I cannot give it up).
 I may or may not have had a few Hershey kisses

to tide me over til brunch!

Oh yum, seriously, brunch was fabulous and fun!  Seeing the crowd waiting in line

when we left around 1 PM, made me so happy I had made

our reservation for 11:30 AM.

Philip, Harry, Catherine, Janie & Walt

We attempted some selfies on the golf course afterward, but

it was so windy, they did not turn out well.

However, we managed to get a few photos since we were 

all dressed up and that doesn't seem to happy often.

Unfortunately, Connor was out of town. 

We missed him and saved a chocolate bunny!

Hope he gets home soon -- that bunny is calling my name!

After brunch, we were in a food coma,

so headed home for naps!

Hope you had fabulous weekend too!
