Mother's Day

This year was officially my first unofficial Mother's Day. There's a little debate whether or not a pregnant lady gets to celebrate-- I say yes!





We spent the morning at the Sustacek abode, chowing down on fruit, cinnamon rolls, a breakfast biscuit casserole, and banana bread. It's always fun spending time at their house because you never know who is going to show up. Angie has always had an open door policy since I've known her. It was always Jake's house we chose to go to... he had a huge comfy couch in his bedroom, we would spend hours watching movies and hanging out, and there was always food waiting for us. Seriously. I remember coming over at 10pm and Angie had dinner waiting on the stove. I think the woman is just always cooking! She still has that same open door policy and holidays are no exception. Our Obachan (Japanese for Grandma) and her husband came over, and the Arteaga family. I spent most of my time hanging out with Julia, though! When everyone left (and Jake had to go to work) Julia and I decided to take Angie to the movies to see a chick flick. Unfortunately we were a little late, and there was no seating available. So we made a quick stop to browse Babies R Us and then viewed some model homes being built next door to us.



Julia is such a sweetheart- she is always writing sweet things and pouring out her heart. She made this for me :)
Mary Jane's first pair of shoes! Thanks to Grandma Angie and Papa Sus!



I headed over to my Mom's house and made dinner for her, Jen. Ryan, and Kate. I made my go-to dish, "Creamy One Pot Pasta" - it seriously never disappoints! Jen made her amazing Pina Colada cupcakes for dessert that we enjoyed while playing The Office version of Clue. I always have such a great time when I spend time with my family. We joke and laugh and it never seems boring. I'm really lucky that we all live close enough to be able to see each other for every holiday and the in-betweens!
My sister is so talented! Jen made this flower hair clip- I love it!
