mother's day 2014

j cooked a yummy meal - lemony pasta, fancy appetizer, lamb chops.

z didn't like the lamb, so we got him to eat it wrapped in salami.

s had fun sniffing a "flower." 

the kids created a fancy mother's day hat for me.

my cuties wearin shades

 for mother's day 2014, we met at tina's in dundee. unfortunately, grandma was sick with a brief tummy bug, so she and grandpa stayed home. we missed them. after brunch, the kids and daddy went home, and the rest of us went wine tasting. we went to white rose, domaine serene, domaine drouhin, and deponte cellars. 

trying to pee before brunch in the parking lot. this one is so cool, she carries her own potty everywhere!

z is playing with his newfound toothy gap, sitting with los abuelos.
