Mother's Day 2012

This past Sunday I hosted a Mother's day brunch. My parents, my inlaws, my grandma, and my brother with his family where invited. We were 10 adults and 3 kids. It turned out to be a really nice day. I was up early preparing all the food. Some I even baked the night before. These events are always a lot of work, but worth it in the end! Here's a little walk-through of the spread I made.



Strawberry and Yogurt Muffins





Healthy Chocolate Muffins (made with oats, greek yogurt and apple sauce)




Oven Fries




A tomato, basil and bocconcini salad. Lots of bacon! (took me 1.5 hours to fry!)




Mini Frittatas (I made in muffin tins)




Raspberries and Black Berries




Strawberries in this cute little pink bucket




A peach nectar Mimosa to start the morning right!




Here's a picture of me and my little man!




And this is what happens after a big day and no nap! Haha So cute!



For dessert we had coffee and Chocolate Mousse that my dad made (I forgot to take a picture). Sooooooo yummy! Oh and with our meal we had homemade bread. Two types: Cinnamon and Raison, and Pecan and Dates. My mom made them and they were to die for! (Also forgot to take a picture). After stuffing our bellies full, we hung out for awhile. Then everyone left but my in-laws and we took the little man to the park to play a bit. We called his friends to joins us. Thats pretty much it for the day. After the park we went home, the inlaws went home and we rested. It was a full busy day. The weather was beautiful and it was nice spending time with the family.

It is a true blessing to be a mother and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I love my little man so much! And I love MY mom with all my heart too! XOX  Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!
