Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone. We had a busy weekend in Tucson celebrating with our moms.

Back in December my parents attended a charity event for the Newman Center at the U of A. They won a silent auction for Father Bart to cook a 5- course dinner at their house. The party was on Saturday night.

This is Fr. Bart prepping dessert- German chocolate cake- yummy!
My mom and dad with all their guests.

Nathan, Kendra, Michael, me and Spencer made up the kids table.
Even though it was the day before Mother's Day we celebrated that night since we were all there. Well, Nick was in New York living it up at Tavern on the Green- but that's another story entirely.

Our Mother's Day gift to our mom was having new photos taken of all us "kids". This was the whole group shot.
All the boys
And the original siblings. We haven't had a group picture like this (other than our weddings) since I was 12.
Back to Saturday night....

Nathan and his mini-me.
Nathan read a rousing version of "What's Wrong Little Pookie?" to Spencer
Spencer stayed up until after 11 pm on Saturday night. Then, because the guest room at my parent's house lights up like the surface of the sun in the morning, he was up by 7:30 am.

This is what happened while we drove home today. Unfortunately it only lasted for 20 minutes.
Remember, this was last year.

Here is this year.
I don't know who grew more- the tree or the baby.

That was a great Mother's Day post. It's hilarious that you're still at the kid's table. That will forever be my spot too. =)
