Mother's Day 2009

Every year John plans Mother's Day for his mom, my mom and myself. He manages to keep all of the details a surprise until the day of. This year we went to the Warick Melrose Hotel in Dallas. It was beautiful. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and the brunch was amazing. They had a kids buffet with pasta, peanut butter and jelly and chicken fingers. However, Carter would rather eat shrimp and crab! I don't think he even touched the kids food.

Carter was such a big boy. He was so good the whole time! In his words he is "the best Carter in the world!" I couldn't agree more!



We are very fortunate to have both John's parents live here as well as my parents. It is so enjoyable to spend such a special day with both of our moms.



It is so nice to get to spend Mother's Day with my mom every year! She is my best friend!

The Grandmothers loved the presents that Carter made for them. I let Carter pick what he wanted to get them this year. We were driving and I asked him what he wanted to get for his Grandma and his MiMi and he thought for a minute and said "a horse puzzle." It actually took me a little bit to figure out what he was saying because it was so random. However, I obliged and I drew a horse on a piece of foam craft paper and let him paint. I let him choose the colors and everything. I then cut the horse into a puzzle. He was so proud and the Grandmothers loved it. We also made a flower with hand prints of both boys which turned out great too.
