Well my Mother's Day weekend started off with the hardest part of being a mama - taking my little girl to the doctor. She had a little infection and we ended up spending a loooonnnng part of the day Friday at the doctor's office trying to do some lab work. She is on antibiotics and doing better now, but man, was that a long, hard Friday. I never want to see her cry like that again!
After some good nap time on Friday afternoon we met up with my best friend Erica for dinner at Fuzzy's. Eva loves Auntie Erica and it was nice to catch up on life with this girl I love so much!
Saturday morning we were up bright and early to have our youth group over for donuts. This picture makes it look kind of empty but we had a good turnout for our donut time :) I just like the pic because Eva is sitting there on her rocking horse while all the teenagers are hanging out. She's just one of the gang!
Literally minutes after everybody left our house we were headed over to our nieces' birthday party. Kiersi turned 7 and Kayden is about to be 6. I still remember the day Kayden was born! When did these pretty girls grown up so much????
Their theme was Candy Land so they had lots of fun games and plenty of candy. Eva mostly liked jumping on the trampoline....and chasing her cousin Mallory....and cuddling with her Nana.
Saturday evening we tried to go to Costco since we didn't get to go on Friday because of the terrible doctor's visit. Who knew that Costco closed at 6PM on the weekends? Not us. We were those weirdos that walk all the way up to the door before realizing that they were closed. Ironically we noticed that there were hardly any cars in the parking lot when we pulled up but instead of concluding that they might be closed we literally said, "Wow. What an awesome time to come to Costco!" as we naively thought we'd hit the jackpot.
So instead we headed to Southlake to make a quick return, only to discover that Brave Combo was playing a free concert on the square! Alright! We did hit the jackpot! If you aren't familiar, Brave Combo is an awesome polka band that is based out of Denton. These guys are so much fun. They actually played at my parents wedding 30 years ago because my dad knew them in college. We kept Eva out past her bedtime to run and polka around with us.
Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day! I had told Ryan that it was really okay if we saved money and didn't do presents for mothers/fathers day. To me this day is more about showing appreciation. Doing things like letting mom sleep in, or washing the dishes, or letting her lay out by the pool. Well I had to get Eva up early for church, and it was too cold to be at the pool in the afternoon, but we did eat lunch off paper plates so I didn't have to wash dishes. And how could I not be happy with that amazing smile looking at me?!
Sunday night we met my parents and grandpa for dinner at Fish and Knife, a sushi and hibachi restaurant in Trophy Club. They don't do the full out hibachi display, but the food is good and less expensive than normal hibachi. I would recommend it!
The best part of Mother's Day was getting to be with my family. I am so happy to be a mama and to have a wonderful mama.
And then when we got home there were ducks in the yard. So Eva ran off after them. Yep, it was a good end to the weekend.
So glad you had a great Mother's Day! I love watching Eva and Mallory play together - so much fun!
