mother's day fun...

my mother's day started with kial waking me up at the crack of 9:30 with a big breakfast (eggs, toast, english muffin & tomatoes)that she had made for just me. i convinced her to let jas share with me and we both enjoyed the wonderful, yummy food. sadly, due to the early (yes, early) hour i was too bleary eyed to think of taking photos of the spread before we partook. it was a great beginning to a lovely day.




next we went to ceb's soccer game. as the time for the game to start came and went with no one showing up for the other team the girls decided to challenge their dads to a game. it was a great game and the girls had a blast. there weren't enough dads at the game so they recruited some guys who were at the field.
eventually one girl showed up from the other team and told us that their team was from vashon island and there were problems with the ferry. their woes turned into a great game for our girls. i just hope they were able to salvage some fun too.




we finished the day with dinner at buca di beppo. my parents, my brother & his kids, jason's mom & my family all enjoyed each others company and most of us enjoyed the food. jas is an italian food snob so he wasn't thrilled, but sweet guy that he is he waited to complain until we got home.

all in all it was a great day and i got to show my mom a tiny bit of appreciation for everything she does for us. she's an amazing mother to me and the dream grandmother for my girls. i am thankful for her everyday.
