It's the truth, I swear

Best Mother's Day Ever

For Kate's first Mother's Day weekend, we had both of our families visiting us. It was, quite possibly, the best Mother's Day I've ever experienced.

We hosted Sunday brunch. Kate and I made a huge fruit salad, a cinnamon and cream cheese strata, and a bacon and cheese quiche. My mom helped out by bringing a broccoli and cheese quiche (and by cutting up some of the fruit for the fruit salad). Everything was so delicious.

Sure, my brother wasn't there (he's in Hawaii for a wedding), and my sister drove back to college late Saturday night for some unknown reason. Although they (and all of our other family) were missed, the day was a huge success. We put the leaves in the table. We showcased eight of our twelve place settings. We passed the baby around. There was laughing. There was intriguing conversation. It was just a really great, perfect day.

Kate, Happy First Mother's Day!
