So it's Thursday already and I'm just getting around to posting about Mother's Day. I hope all of you moms were spoiled heavily!
Jon and I spent the weekend at home with our parents. On Saturday night, my parents were nice enough to babysit so that Jon and I could enjoy dinner and a movie -- what a treat! We saw "21" and I really liked it! I had no trouble staying awake through the whole thing, which is always the sign of a great movie for me nowadays! Jon had read the book that it was loosely based on, but said it was much better than the movie -- isn't that always the case! After the movie, we went to dinner at a local winery. Good food + great wine + flourless chocolate torte for dessert = HEAVEN! (and the dashing man sitting with me wasn't bad either!)
On Sunday morning, we went to church with my parents, and then had a Mother's Day celebration with both of our families. It was SOOO nice to spend time with everyone around the dinner table! I had been giving Jon a hard time about "forgetting" Mother's Day. He had to "run and errand" after church and I was certain he was out buying a last minute gift for me. I have to say, I was quite surprised to open my card and see that we have reservations to see "WICKED" in a few weeks. Jon announced that he will be taking me to the city for an overnight stay in celebration of Mother's Day and 5 years of marraige. I'm so excited! We'll be leaving Tanner with his Grandmas and it will be his first night without us -- I'm sure he won't even know we're gone with both of them here to spoil him!

Grandpa Hall gave Tanner and Daddy some tips on how to get their lawn looking like a golf course.
Oh man, this is the life! Got my Grandpa, got my dogs, ready for a nap.
Me and my Mothers. i'm learning from the best!
