Telling my mom (and brother)

Yesterday was an absolute awesome Mother's Day!

It started with Steve and I going out to breakfast with my mom and my brother (yummy food, bad service), normal conversation all during breakfast. Well the restaurant was handing out red roses to all the mothers and our crappy waitress totally skipped my mom. My brother grabbed one of the bus boys and asked if they were still handing them out and pointed to my mom asking for one. Well the bus boy comes back and brings both my mom and I a rose...



















Of course none of them (but Steve) knew that I deserved it and they we're making comments about how next year I'd need it and we'd have a baby at the table with us.

We leave breakfast and go back to my mom's house so she can open her gifts. I brought three bags over, a huge one that was her Wii (my brother and I got it for her), a medium sized one that was accessories for the Wii and then a small one that was my gifts to her.



















This is her once she realized it was a Wii, super happy!

She opened the accessory bag and then I told her which wrapped gift out of the first bag she was supposed to open...it was this...














Now this is where my mom is just as brain dead as my hubby, she read the "Grandma & Me" part and assumed it was for the future, she thought the picture was of Wii controllers (apparently the $ store test look like Wii controllers). So this is her reading the frame with an Awwww reaction...














and this is when my brother (next to her) pointed out what was in the picture...



















See the light bulb above her head? LOL!!!! I also gave her the "Property of Grandma" t-shirt...



















She was super excited (my brother too) and so happy I waited until Mother's Day to tell her. She said she absolutely loved her Wii but that I gave her an even better present. Her name on her Wii character is now "Hot Granny"!!!

















In other news, my BFF couldn't get her schedule to match with mine yesterday so she still doesn't know, I refuse to tell her via text/email/phone!



Steve also called his mother (she lives out of state) and wished her a Happy Grandmother's Day, she got it right away and he said she seemed genuinely happy for us, which we were not expecting.


We also went and saw Steve's grandmother on Saturday and shared the news with her, unfortunately she probably doesn't remember but we we're glad to see her and share our news.

Now comes the waiting game, 4 more weeks until we tell the rest of my family and 5 more before we tell our close friends. All in all I had a super Mother's Day, even if very few people know I'm a mommy!!!
