Mom's Bday and First Few Days Here!

My mom arrived on Tuesday.  We have been doing quite a bit.  Although we have had some sit back and relax chill time mixed in as well.

We took her to Boston's for her birthday dinner.  That's what she chose!  I made her a cheesecake instead of a birthday cake.  She isn't a fan of frosting so I asked her if she'd prefer a cheesecake. For her bday cheesecake, I decided on a Butterfinger version. Butterfinger candy bars are her favorite!  I even got some Butterfinger ice cream in the house to go with the cheesecake.  I think she enjoyed her birthday. It seemed as though she did.

On Thursday we had quite the relaxing day at home.  Rain and hail threatened to appear during the course of the day, therefore we decided to stay in as much as possible.  We went out briefly nothing too far away.

Today we went to granny's.  We spent all afternoon at granny's playing games and chatting.  Lots of fun!  My mom loves to play games. I knew she would totally enjoy going out to granny's farm to see granny as well as play games. Brad beat us all at Scrabble and granny beat us at the card game we played. I had pretty bad luck for both games.  The card game is good fun but it's a bit time consuming with the 4 rounds designed to be played.

Next up is Father's day tomorrow.  The five of us will be going to a Cajun restaurant because that is my father-in-law's fave. As far as the plans for this coming week?....we'll be doing some mall shopping and taking in a couple movies most likely.
