Mother's Day 2009

I am so very loved. It's wonderful.
The boys showed up around 2:00 with arm loads of groceries and accessories. Matthew loves cooking for a group and Nicholas agreed to be is assistant.
They cooked up a storm for Gramma, Cindy and I.
I was not allowed to go into the kitchen...ya, twist my arm.
They brought out an awesome bruschetta to start. Then we ate a beautiful pasta with salmon.
The last time Matthew cooked for Cindy and I the kitchen looked like a bomb went off, seriously, it was really bad. This time he cleaned the kitchen and left it exactly the way he found it. I was so impressed.
We finished dinner with a wonderful cream pie with added whipped cream, mmmmmmm.
The boys even refrained from their usual love taps (brutal bashing actually) with the small exception of a whipped cream thing, but they managed to control that too.
It was a wonderful, wonderful day. We went through a bunch of photo albums of the kids as babies. I managed to find some of their baby clothes and shoes to give Natasha.
I even beat Nick at Wii golf...he said he threw the game for "mother's day" but he didn't.
They also got me a digital photo frame complete with a whole bunch of wonderful pictures.
I am so loved...and so are they.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms, I hope you were as blessed as me.
