Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year!  This was my first with both kids (but also my first without my Emma).  It was still very special though and actually more of a weekend celebration.  :)  Lucas did so much to make it great for me!  And unlike last year, where Carson would barely talk to me  (Mother's Day 2011) , he was a very sweet little boy this year.  My mom told him that Mother's Day is like my birthday and he was very excited by that.  He responded, "Oh yeah?  Cake?  We have party for mommy!  Like Christmas!"  He's so cute!!  He made me a wonderful card at school.  (Even though he told me he made it for Miss Carrie - haha). 

We celebrated by going to the zoo.  Carson is at such a fun age for the zoo!  He had so much fun.  I got some great video.  :)  He has talked about our trip to the zoo ever since.  We sit on the couch together almost every night and look at the zoo map and go over everything we saw.  Love him!  I think we'll need to get the family membership to the zoo this year so we can go more often. 

Ready for the zoo!

Carson loved his Lightning McQueen stroller.  He didn't mind at all "sharing" his old stroller w/ Avery.  This one was MUCH cooler.  And easy to get in and out of to look at the animals!

The kids got me a beautiful engraved frame.  I can't wait to get their picture in it.  :)  I'm thinking this one....even though Avery's not very happy.  :)  Couple other options too....

My frame  :)

And Lucas got me a gift card to the Oyster Bar.  :)  Can't wait for a night of espresso martinis and "solving the world's problems" w/ Mandy. 

Mother's Day ended w/ a special "date" w/ Carson.  We went to get ice cream together - just the two of us.  With Avery here, I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of time with Carson.  Lucas ends up spending a lot of time playing with him while I tend to Avery.  So it was really nice to get some alone time with him!  He was so cute eating his ice cream.  He kept calling it a "cupcake".  :)  We had a really good time. 

I'm a very lucky mommy!  :)
