Sometimes being outnumbered in our household has its advantages. Take Mother's Day for example. The boys go all out to make Mama feel special!
Last night Scott surprised Jami with a date night out to her favorite local wine bar. Oh, what a fun treat! This morning the boys presented Mom with a nice card and gift certificate for some moments of rest and relaxation at Castle House Spa (a lovely little spa that looks like a castle in the pines just east of our house!) After church, we hosted a Mother's Day Brunch at our house and were pleased to have Mimi and Papa dining with us. Many generations of mothers in our family have enjoyed a love of cooking, so a joyful kitchen continued on this Mother's Day! The inspiration for today's menu came from Sunset Magazine with recipes for an Italian picnic (including Sicilian bruschetta and layered torta with ham, provolone, spinach & herbs), spring greens with strawberries & candied almonds, and mini peanut butter cupcakes with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting for dessert!
The bunch at Mother's Day brunch!
The mothers sported some lovely corsages today.
Luke & Reid made Mimi's coffee-filter-carnation corsage,
and Luke made Jami's corsage at school.
Hope your Mother's Day was a grand day, too!
