Mother's Day Weekend

Felix asked me what I wanted to do for Mother's Day this year, and I told him I was craving some "real" crawfish. We are fortunate enough to have some South Louisiana connections in our family, so Saturday morning I woke up to 40 lbs of crawfish on the back deck! My husband sure can do them up right, and Blair was just as antsy as ever to give them a try!

 The Patnode's, along with Pop and Mimi, came to enjoy the party. Lord knows, it wouldn't be a party without the 4 of them! We even let little Carter out of her cave for a quick trip to the patio. The crawfish were just as yummy as ever, and it was nice to put my diet to side and indulge in beer and crawfish for the afternoon ;)

Steve and Angie were nice enough to invite us to their country club for Mother's Day brunch on Sunday morning. Despite the torrential downpours, it was a wonderful day with friends and family. Both of my children behaved during brunch and let me enjoy my champagne and omelet! 

And last, but not least, we want to remember Maw Maw this Mother's Day. This picture was taken on Mother's Day weekend last year, and I am so glad I have this memory to cherish. This year Maw Maw was suffering through her final days here on this earth, and Nonna was right there by her side. I am so thankful that I took this picture so I can remember her healthy, plump, and worrying if our meal was too expensive that day ;) So, go hug your Maw Maw if you still have one, and take some pictures like I did; it is wonderful to have these great memories to look back on.
