Mother's Day 2016

Mother's day started out with a great big bouquet of beautiful tulips from Tanner. They are one of my favorite flowers and they put a smile on my face~

The vase didn't fit all of the tulips so we had to use another pitcher to carry the overflow~


Then Sean came over in the morning and delivered a bouquet of tulips from himself, Erin, and Bryan. I'm one lucky mama!


While the guys took care of the kids, my mom, Kamery, Auntie Naomi, Erin and I went to Great Maple for breakfast. It was delicious and so nice to have some time to linger over a nice meal without children interrupting. It was another wonderful gift for Mother's Day. I took a picture of my yummy mocha, but forgot to take pics of the food because I was so hungry. I had the prosciutto and avocado flatbread and we had these delicious maple bacon doughnuts afterwards~


I came home and took a nap after all that food. Later on Grandma Nish came by with Ron and we had a Mother's Day dinner at our house with Marcus, the Isaksens, Alberts, and Okamuras. Jenni had ordered chinese food and my mom got bulgogi and salad at Costco. 



Marcus made our Grandma Nishihara's chocolate chiffon pie from scratch. It was very good, but it did not taste like my memory of my Grandma's pie. Marcus did explain that he had no measuring cups or spoons so everything was by his "eyeball". He had all written out "I love you Mom" on the pie but did not realize that the cookie gel icing you buy at the grocery store is not made to be used as lettering. HAHA! 


Fooling around with Uncle Marcus~ 


Chase has several loose teeth and he was complaining that they hurt so much he can't eat. At the end of the day he was very cranky, especially when Tanner kept trying to sneak up on him and take out his tooth~


Before all the crying, Chase and Tanner had been working on throwing accuracy. Chase has a pretty strong arm and so Tanner has been guiding him on how to aim and work on pitching. 




 It was a nice and relaxing Mother's Day. I love that I live so close to so many family members. It was really fun to spend the day hanging out with everyone. Next time, I need to take more pictures!
