Happy Mother's Day

We had a fun Mother's day. James let me sleep in & I woke up to the sweet smells of breakfast - anything more then a granola bar is a treat for me. I helped Xander make bracelets for his grandmothers. He did such an excellent job & really took his time picking out which beads he wanted to use. I was worried because the beads I bought had really small holes - but he managed to string the beads all on his own. I simply held up the string for him & tied the knots. He is so good at anything he wants to do!

We had a nice visit with James' mom and Xander loved the opportunity to see the planes. The boy won't shut up when he sees a vehicle of any note :)

We had dinner with my family and I took advantage of the opportunity to make a cake that I've been wanting to try out. It was SO CUTE! My favorite so far.

It was a 3 tier Strawberry & Chocolate Marbleised cake with Strawberry (pie) Filling, Cream Cheese Frosting, Pirouette Cookies, and topped with Fresh Strawberries. YUM!
I hope all the mom's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day too!
