A Day For Mamas

As usual, my hubby did a great job making me feel loved and appreciated on this special day set aside for Mamas! 

My day started with these, my absolute favorite flowers!!

We had the most delicious breakfast in Amana.  If you've never been to the Colony Inn, do yourself a favor and try it.  I can't even begin to describe the delicious-ness.  Claire has been several times before and always devours everything but it was fun to have Emma with us this time.  She was loving everything too!  We were fortunate to have Nana with us!  She stopped through on her way home from a trip with her sister. 




The two little ladies who make me a mama!





After naps, some girlfriends and I were given an afternoon off by our hubbies.  They kept the kiddos and sent us to the most adorable and delicious cafe for some a-ma-zing crepes.  It was so fun to have some time as women, moms, and friends, without the distraction of our lovely children.   :)

Mine had strawberries and Nutella.. yum!
We ended the day by grilling out with some friends in the perfect weather!  Claire and her one of her favorite little buddies, Micah, had so much fun playing and exploring in our backyard (which may or may not have included burying Claire's brand new baby from Nana in the dirt... Don't worry, Nana... after washing her off, Brianna is as good as new :))  Needless to say, the night ended in bathtime for both kiddos.. and the doll! :) 

What a perfect day.  Thanks babe!!  You definitely know how to make this mama feel loved! :)

A good day indeed! Thank you for allowing us to celebrate with us, for letting my son bury Brianna, for hot soapy water, AND for pj's! Being a momma isn't so bad after all ;)
