Mother's Day

The day started off with a gift that only Grayson could give - he slept until 8!!  Once he and I were up, we snuggled on the couch for a little while, read some books, and started a load of laundry.  Next I thought it might be fun to bake some cookies with Gray.  We started out with unwrapping some chocolates and melting it down with some butter for our brownie cookies.  Grayson decided to sample the chocolate chips that did not get poured into the pot.
 Can you believe that he is tall enough to reach the counter tops with the help of the ottoman!?
 After we started melting our chocolate and measured out the dry ingredients, Daddy woke up.  He has been up until the wee hours of the morning lately working on his thesis, so I didn't want to wake him up this morning.  He couldn't get enough of how helpful Gray was, so he took some pictures.
 Notice the chocolate on his face?  He thought it was delicious.
He helped me measure out and pour in the vanilla extract.
 And set a timer...we didn't need the timer... ;)



 The Hubs did a top notch gift wrapping job!
 The two of them got me an immersion blender, and I can't wait to test it out!  One of the recipes in the booklet is for a frozen coffee drink.  Yes, please!
 We were able to go out for brunch before P had to get back to his writing.  We went to the same restaurant that we went last year and found another great patio spot.  Grayson played with some rocks while we waited for our food and then shared some good cuddles and kisses before we left. 








 We stopped to smell the flowers as we walked out.
 Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful Mom!  Thank you for all of your help over the last few weeks - we couldn't do this move without you!
