Mother's Day

So my day started out pretty nice.  I was able to sleep in a bit, we don't have church until 11am.  Nobody had to run off to meetings in the morning, they had all been canceled for Mother's Day. 

At church there were a few youth speakers talking about their moms and motherhood.  The Primary kids sand 2 numbers.  My kids actually sang and didn't just stand up there waving at me.  The mothers were given a music CD of hymns out of the hymnal that Emma Smith had put together.

After church, Kyle and I cooked together to make my Mother's Day brunch.  But it wasn't technically brunch since it was at 3pm.  We made a frittata, home fries and scones.  The scones were not what people out here in Utah call scones, which is just fry bread, but the type of scones you would find in a New England bakery.  They are like breakfast cookies.  The recipes I got from Anne Burrell, she is a chef and star of Food Network's Secrets of a restaurant chef.  She was also one of the chef mentors for the Worst Cooks in America competition.

Kyle really like the frittata and home fries.  I really liked the scones.  I want to make them again, but try some other dried fruit and nut combinations.

Anyway, Chloe had made me a book for Mother's Day.  Kyle's mom sent me a bouquet of flowers.  I have yet to tell Kyle what gift I want.  I sent my mom a bracelet and a necklace, one was for her birthday and the other was for Mother's Day.

So I had a nice relaxing day with good food and good company.
