Mothers Day Weekend

This past weekend was a TON of fun.  It was very busy and full of different events.
Friday morning, my parents flew in to visit.  It is always so nice to see them and visit with them.  I took my mom to get a pedicure that evening to start off the weekend right.  I had field day at school that morning so it felt good to have my feet pampered.  After that, we had dinner with Aaron's parents and uncle Paul and Mawmaw at Snuffers....YUM!  We had such a great time!  I love that our families get along so well :)
On a side note, our wedding album came in on Friday....LOVE IT!  It could not be more perfect.  If you are in need of a photographer for anything, check out who we used.  They were absolutely amazing.  Two Pair Photography
Saturday, the boys went to play golf early.  My mom and I got to sleep in a little bit before starting a busy day.  We ran a few errands so I could finish up Mother's Day gifts for our grandma's then we hit the mall to do a little shopping....my favorite!  My mom found a really cute jacket at Dillard's so I got it as her mothers day gift.  What a good daughter I am :)  After that we met the boys back at our apt. and relaxed for a bit while watching all the different sporting events that were on t.v.
That evening, my uncle Robert had his retirement party at Brookhaven Country Club.  It was in the same room we had our rehearsal dinner in :)  It was really fun to be back there and the bartender even remembered us from our wedding/rehearsal...good thing or not?  I think good because we were memorable!  Anyways, it was so nice to see some family and celebrate my uncles wonderful career with AT&T.  Since we were all there and dressed up, I decided to take some pics....

Me and my very handsome husband
My grandma kept commenting on how short she was, but I was wearing about 5 inch heels which I love especially since Aaron is so much taller than I am :)
When the party was over we all came home and went to bed.  At about 1:00 am, my phone started ringing and I answered but really don't remember what I said.  All I know is that it was my brother calling and telling me to come open the gate to our apt complex because he was here to surprise my parents.  Let me just tell you that I am not a happy person when I am woken up from a good sleep.  Aaron and I went down to open the gate and let him in.  It was quite a surprise...and even bigger when I realized he had Deuce, his dog, with him.  We did not get much sleep that night because Griffin wanted to go out and play with him and whinned all night.... I'm not complaining though.  It was SO good to see him and I know my parents were glad to see him too. 
The next morning we all went to breakfast to celebrate Mother's Day and my dads birthday.  That's right...every once in a while my mom and dad have to share that day.  We went to Cafe Brazil and had a delicious breakfast together.  Here are my amazing parents who I love more than anything (mom wearing her new jacket). 
After breakfast, we parted ways because Aaron and I had tickets to the Rangers/Yankees game (part of our Christmas present).  It was a fun game to watch but it was incredibly HOT!  I ended up with a bit of a sunburn but I am happy to report that it is almost a nice tan now :)
We ended our amazing weekend with dinner at Mawmaw's house with Aaron's family.  It was one of the best Mother's Day weekends that I can remember in a while.  I love that my family all got to be together on such a special day and that I was able to be with Aaron's family also.  BLESSED!
