Mother's Day

First let me start off by saying that Mother's Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I just love feeling so loved and appreciated by my family. I know they appreciate me every day, but on Mother's Day they have to show it :) Plus, many restaurants put on a mean brunch for Mother's Day. This year we returned to the same place as last year...The Copper Kettle. It's this cute little restaurant in downtown Nashville that does an amazing  brunch buffet. I pigged out and had a mimosa too...what a meal. Needless to say, I've only eaten once since brunch...and that was just some Raspberry Pomegranate sorbet from Sweet Cece's. Have I mentioned that I LOVE Mother's Day? LOL

Kiley and me after our meal. Love this girl

After brunch we headed back home where I snuck in a quick nap, then we headed out to Sweet Cece's for a quick treat, then to Dragon Park, our favorite park in Nashville. It's over in the Hillsboro Village area, and its just the coolest park. It has an old fashioned play area with a big hill, a fort, a tunnel, and a metal slide, a huge mosaic dragon you can climb all over, plus a modern play area. It's huge and we just love it.

Maddie wanted some Sweet Cece's too, so we gave her a spoon so she wouldn't feel left out

Then, after the park we came home and Maddie took a very big step...her first rice cereal! She's been watching us eat with a lot of interest lately, and likes playing with spoons, so I decided to try it. I ground up my brown rice into a powder, cooked it down, then added some breast milk and voila...rice cereal!

All ready!

She did much better than we thought she would

As you can tell, I had a wonderful day. I love my family so much.
