mother's day

what better day to relax then mother’s day.

no roses to smell though – but i did get a pretty, red carnation. plus oodles of craft made by chaeli from her class.

we went to my parent’s place for brunch. doug and i packed a box of things we needed to make quiche (two kinds). i figured it would be easier to make them while my parents played with chaeli. otherwise, chaeli would want to help and everything would be much slower and more aggravating.

we ended up with a crab quiche and a spinach-feta quiche, plus a goat feta and roasted red pepper spring salad. it was lovely. and somewhat on the lighter side.

after we ate, the sun started to peek out a little. we decided to all take advantage of the weather, and got ourselves ready for a stroll.

what a nice stroll that was. it was probably my favourite part of the day. just to walk with my family while chaeli toddled with us, pointing at all the different things she saw and chattering with excitement.
