Happy Mothers Day!!!
3 Generations....so good looking aren't we. hehe
I hope you all had a great Mothers Day. I know that I did spending time with Mom and Nana. I prepared a special meal for Saturday night. I tried 2 new recipes and they were both a big hit. I made a sun dried tomato pesto for pasta and also added chicken, spinach, artichokes, and goat cheese. So I guess you would call it Chicken pasta with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese. The rest of the things were just an added bonus. I also made a cookies and cream pound cake for dessert. Although, I must admit that the pound cake was a little crisp around the edges. But a little ice cream makes everything better. I spent most of the day Saturday cleaning and preparing dinner so I would have everything ready when the fam arrived. That way all I had to do was make the pasta and then throw everything else in that I had already chopped, cooked, or shredded.
It was so great to see Nana. She looks great and is doing really well. Hard to believe she is 92!
Saturday we all visited and had a great dinner. Then on Sunday morning Mike and I took everyone out for breakfast. We went down to the National Harbor.......in hopes that it would be nice and we could walk around....but it was pretty chilly. All in all it was a great weekend. I am so happy that Nana will be here for a month so I will get to visit with her a lot more. Hopefully I will be spoiled and have some of her amazing meals.
Here are some pictures from the weekend.
