mother's day.
i can't seem to find my happy place with mother's day. sometimes i think, i just want a day to myself or a little weekend get away. maybe, with
my mom. so, last year i went to santa barbara with randi and my mom. and. i felt guilty being away from cade and mr. c. other years, i have wanted to just hang at home and order take out. wasn't crazy about that either. so, this year i decided i wanted to host a brunch for my mom and sister in law {and their hubbies}. it was a lovely day. even though it was work for me...i loved having them here. there was lots of love and laughter...and, delicious food.

| randi made the menu cards and decorated the table with pictures of all the moms. {love having a daughter}. |
 |
we celebrated all the moms...even those who are no longer with us.

| pretzel croissants. i first had these at the city bakery in nyc. i came home on a mission to find the recipe! they are quite a bit of work but, so worth it. we devoured them. |
 |
the mimosas flowed. we all ate to our heart's desire. the boys swam. we all told stories. randi gave me a beautiful cookbook. {again. so grateful for a daughter}. we laughed. we loved.
we had a lovey day.
{when everyone went home and the kitchen was clean...the kids and i relaxed at the movies watching the new captain america}. |
