Mother's Day Dinner

Taylor wanted to make dinner for his mom for Mother's Day. He asked her if she'd be okay with those plans and of course she said YES! I found a recipe and Taylor did his magic with it, and VOILA!

(We also had Dom, Chris, Haylee and PK over for dinner; Heidi had all her kiddos together for Mother's Day dinner!)

So after my family left, we quickly cleaned up, did dishes, and I made some delicious double fudge brownies with fudge topping (Yes, of course I ate some of the batter...my favorite part!) Once I was done in the kitchen Taylor got started on dinner.

The menu:
HOMEMADE teriyaki sauce
Chicken Teriyaki and veggie stir fry
Steamed brown rice
French bread slices with butter (left over bread from the french toast breakfast)
Strawberries/Grapes (left over from breakfast)
Dessert: Brownies with french vanilla ice cream

Quite the tasty day! Taylor had done the majority of the cleaning and preparing of the food for my Mom's breakfast, so after dinner I was sure to do all the clean-up so he could visit with his family just as I had in the morning.
Dinner and visiting was great! Heidi even said it was the best Mother's Day she's ever had! Pretty sweet kids she has.

We are so thankful for our Mother's and the way they raised us to become the adults we are today. I know that without my mom, I wouldn't have met Taylor: without the values she helped instill in me- I wouldn't have known to look for a man as spectacular as Taylor.

Moms are great: they never receive the credit they deserve. Thank you to all the great mommies out there! I can't wait to become a mother myself...but it's fun to learn from all the great moms around me!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mothers, Moms, Mamas, Nanas, Grams', Mommies and Mommies to be.
To our Moms: WE LOVE YOU!!!
