Last year I spent Mother's Day in labor from the morning through the night. Needless to say, this year couldn't help but be light years better and so much less painful! ;) Pete actually promised me that night that I would never have to spend another Mother's Day enduring that kind of discomfort again and he certainly has made good on that promise so far.
This year I got a whole weekend of pampering and fun! Peter joined forces with Scott Drain and Jonas Moe to secretly plan a fantastic day of pampering and fun for Sarah, Katie, and myself. On Saturday afternoon we had lunch on the patio of Il Fornaio with Mike and Barbara. On our way home while chatting about our plans for the evening Peter told me that I needed to hurry up to make it to my surprise appointment on time! He sent me over to the Drain's home with a cooler of champagne, chocolate, and wine (for options). When I arrived there Sarah had no idea that I was coming or that the Moes were one their way too! As they pulled up Sarah and I swept Katie off to the spa for our deluxe mani/pedis! The guys took care of the kids and started the BBQ they had planned for dinner. All three of us were so surprised and had such a fabulous time chatting and enjoying our kid-free 'us' time. It was great to come back to a delicious dinner and fun times with the kids. I really could not have asked for a better day!
On Sunday we spent the day together as a family. We kept it low key and spent a lot of time remembering all of the experiences from this last year. We had an lovely lunch on the patio at Pyramid, a nice stroll through downtown Walnut Creek (and their farmer's market), and ended the day with an ice cream cone dinner and a relaxing walk through Todos Santos Plaza. Hands down, best weekend I've had in a very long time! Well done Peter and Jack!!!
