My Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day with my sweet husband and sweet girls. I feel very lucky :) and we spent the afternoon and evening with BOTH of our moms... fun to have everyone over at our house and not be stepping on each other!

Saturday morning started with a ceremonious beard shave outside. The beard on my mountain man was fun for awhile (he's had it since Christmas when he forgot his razor when we went up to Red Bluff and it appeared after about 2.5 days) but I was ready to have his face back!

I had the honors of shaping the fu manchu. What was I thinking??

Then everybody came over around 6 for dinner. We started with a cocktail cruise down to the Redwood Grove Nature Preserve near our house

My silly grils - Maisie likes to try and put "pretties" in her hair and Francie snickers and goes "Mom- even though she doesn't have any hair!" It's ok Maisie- it's coming in
