My fabulous Mother's Day


I had the BEST Mother's Day this year! We got up early and went to church (which IS a treat, because my husband doesn't usually want to go with me) and then we headed down to Jacksonville for a nice lunch.  We wanted to go to the Cheesecake Factory (my all-time favorite restaurant), but it was SO packed! I have never seen that many people waiting outside to get into a restaurant- and we got there 15 minutes after it opened!  The funny thing is, there are several really nice restaurants in that area and none of the others even had lines.

 We ended up going to Maggiano's Little Italy and it was DELICIOUS.  Seriously, some of the best Italian food I have ever had. Plus they gave me a flower since it was Mother's Day AND they gave us a free appetizer when they found out it was our first visit!  Then we got some to-go cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory on the way home.

Jackson was SO sweet and well-behaved the whole day.  He kept kissing me and tried to hold my hand all through lunch :) And when we got home I found my present- a Cricut Expression!! I spent the afternoon playing with it!

5 love me:
