Mother's Day

The weekend flew by with all the activities surrounding Mother's Day.  Saturday we spent the day in Illinois going shopping.  We went to Woodfield mall, Ikea, and of course Mitsuwa.  We ended the night at Sushi Kushi Toyo for my Mom's dinner celebration.  It was so yummy!  I was a little nervous about Sunday because I'm not quite a Mom yet.  Nick however did all the right things to settle my nerves.  He got me a card with giraffes on it (my favorite animal these days), a bouquet of pink roses (unopened - they began to open when we got home), and made dinner for me and my family (lasagna, garlic bread, salad)!  We then all went to Bubba's for free sundaes!  I think tonight we'll have that special dessert he was planning.  He ended the night with serving me sparkling apple cider and giving my little Lucy a bath.  He makes me feel so special.  Me, Lucy and baby are so lucky to have Nick.  I can't wait until next Mother's Day!
