A Happy Day

It was a wonderful Mother's Day here in our little part of the world. I hope all the other Moms had a great day too!

We have been a busy bees all week doing a few little projects. As you can see above, the boys made their grandmothers and great-grandmothers a precious card. They are quite the little artists, if I say so myself! I wish I had been able to take a picture of them playing in the paint, it was priceless. But, it was a two man job just to make sure the paint ended up on the paper and not all over the rest of the house. And, as we are currently on man-on-man defense around here, there was no one left to take any pictures.

I recently saw these cute favor baskets online and thought I would give them a try. They are so cute and pretty easy to do. They each hold a cupcake and a chocolate sunflower topper.

They made my table setting so festive and perfect for our Mother's Day celebration.

We spent the afternoon with both of our parents, who were nice enough to make the drive up here. As usual, we headed downtown and started off with a delicious brunch at Liberty, and then walked down Main Street to see the sights at Artisphere. I love how our little city always has so much to do!

We took a break to cool off and let the boys splash in the fountain..

They loved it!Ben was so excited, I love his expression!
And of course we still managed to squeeze in a few family photos, although I must admit these are certainly not our best effort...

And then we headed home for ice cream cake!

Cuddling with my boys to thank them for a perfect day!
