Mother's Day Re-cap

First off, Happy Mother's day to everyone!

Thought we would share some highlights from our Mother's Day 2008. Maddie and I kicked things off by making breakfast for Mommy on Sunday AM. Maddie insisted that Steph stay in bed for breakfast. We then got ready and headed off to Church. Afterwards, we headed down to the Pike Place Market. With our great weather (NOT) we didnt think it would be too busy, but we were wrong. It was packed. Luckily we found a parking spot pretty quick on 1st ave close to the market. We meandered through the market, very impressed by all of the Tulips! With our weather, there was some concern about the tulips, but there seemed to be plenty available. We stocked up on a few bundles, and picked up a few Chocolate Crinkle cookies before heading out. Here are some pics:



Later in the evening, we piled into the Suburban with Mom/Dad Channer/Jensen and headed over to Bellevue for a Mother's Day dinner at Maggiano's. This is a newer Italian place that we have been to in California, but had not been to yet here in Seattle. We were surprised by how much space this place has. It was clearly built with events in mind as there was a massive banquet room that was converted into "large party overflow" for the mother's day crowd. Word from the waiters was that they were going to server over 1700 people that day. The food was great, but it was a bit slow...hey, when you are serving 1700 people, I can only imagine the logistics involved.

All in all, it was a great day. Happy Mother's Day!
NOTE: A special Mother's Day video from Maddie/KK to Steph is coming soon....
