Mother's Day

We had a really simple and low-key Mother's Day Buffet at Straub's in Ellisville. They had all sorts of goodies for $15/person. I really like Straub's and wished that everything wasn't so expensive in there. It is a great atmosphere to shop in and I think I like it better than Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.  The hot bars for lunch are great! We unfortunately didn't even think to take pictures of the day because after brunch, I immediately went home to pack for our trip to Orlando very early the next day. I did find out that they do a Sunday Brunch every week for $7.95 so I think I might drag Josh out when he is off on weekends again! If you live nearby, you should check them out. 

After our lovely meal, we went back to Nana & Pepere's house to exchange some gifts. I got a cute pair of new fancy flip-flops and a swimsuit cover-up for our trip (which I barely used...). I also told Josh that I wanted something specific for myself, a mounted wall mirror so I can see my face when I put make-up on in the morning (I'm blind). I didn't think he listened to me, so I wrote it off. Lo and behold when coming home from brunch I walked into the bathroom and it was already mounted with a note saying how much he and the girls love me. :-)  It was the best surprise! I know it doesn't seem like much, but little things are what make me happy.
