I’m so glad I was able to spend my 1st Mother’s Day in Chicago. We went for a wonderful brunch at the Double Tree. It was one of the best brunches I’ve ever been too. We stuffed ourselves but managed to save room for desserts. They had a chocolate fountain – Madison got her money’s worth! She had chocolate all over
her face and arms.

We hit the Yorktown Mall and did some more shopping after brunch. BJ wasn’t very entertained but went with the flow since it was the Mom’s day. We picked up some more pj’s for Maeva and then got some shoes for Annabelle and the baby. These girls are going to be the best dressed gals in Colorado!

We made a few more stops on the way back to YaYa’s and then finally got around to present time! Madison gave me the DVD “27 Dresses” which I haven’t seen yet but am really looking forward to watching. Annabelle and B gave me a birthstone necklace with Annabelle’s birthstone. It’s very pretty – I love it! B was going to get the baby’s birthstone on there as well but since she’s due on August 1st he was worried she might show up early and ruin his plan. 🙂

After a lazy afternoon we had to head to the airport. It was a later flight – we didn’t leave until 7:30. Annabelle was a bit antsy on the plane but we were able to get a row to ourselves so she could sit in her own seat and walk along the row to keep herself occupied. Important to note – Southwest does not have changing tables in their restroom (at least not on our plane) so B had a challenging yet entertaining story about changing a very dirty diaper in a very cramped space. That was the best Mother’s day gift of all!! I had a great Mother’s Day and we all had a fun trip. We miss Becky, Madison & YaYa already.
