Monday morning and being up way too early for my liking since it was close to 3 am before this backside got to bed... I am going to blame it on the great company I had last night and the movies we watched.... a great way to end a wonderful day...
But Mother's Day started on Wednesday when we went down to celebrate Yvette's birthday... she not only had the lobster surprise for us but some other surprises for the woman of the family....
After the cake, and gifts Yvette showed up with a nice bag for mom and explained that she was going to be away on Mother's Day so she was giving her, her Mother's Day gift now...
And if any one knows mom ... she loves getting gifts....
Of course there had to be chocolate in the package... making sure that mom never runs out of the stuff.... he he
And a beautiful spring coat....
Little red riding hood she looks like...
And thank you to the givers....
But mom was not the only one that got gifts that day... Pat did as well...
Just a little something to mark the day....
ohhh it smells so good....
A spoon or tea bag holder.... very cute....
Ohhh yes something else... for me... how so very lucky....
Now this is a mug I like to have when I am trying to face the morning... everyone knows how much of a morning person I really am not..... LOL and by the way it holds more then a xl Tim's... I checked... LOL...Mother's Day.... Itself
Our visit was quiet... sitting around chatting until I realized I didn't even take pictures...
so snapped a few of the women just sitting around relaxing....
While the men were in the kitchen hard at work... 
making dinner for them... way to go men of the house he he
Then off to Carl's parents place to be greeted with these delicious looking pies... 
Susan's work of art... as usual....
And the guest of honor.... I am sure they really didn't want to be.... he he 
When I got to the house they had some nice little plates on the table but I took along the plates that would fit the occasion .... doesn't make a great looking table... 
So what do you buy a woman that has everything... well... a nice size lobster to enjoy....
Table doesn't look all that bad after the plates are filled....
And boy did Oma enjoy herself....
It was not his day but Opa enjoyed it as well....
And when all was done.. the women once again sat relaxing as the men of the house cleaned up... and got things back to order.....
Oma was amazed to see Carl wiping dishes... she had never seen that before LOL... I did inform her that he has been doing it for a while around home....
And a few things that I was surprised with... Susan had these on the table for Oma and I... and informed me that when she comes to visit it better be alive and doing well... she doesn't know me very well does she???? I may be able to grow all those flowers outside but I really suck when they come in the house....
A replacement of a rabbit that was broken a year or so ago... I was told... actually it is cuter then the one I had before.... I hope that all the Mother's in my family had as wonderful a day as I did...
Have a wonderful Monday... Joanne
