The Harbins: Mothers Day Party!

I am so happy, lucky, blessed, (insert other great adjectives here) to have in-laws that are so wonderful and loving- Justin's Dad Ed, his step-dad David, his siblings Matt and Meaghan, and especially my mother in law!! I love her for many reasons, including that she raised a great man, my hubby! And now we get to watch her be a Grammy to Max which is so fun : ) We got to celebrate Mothers Day with her last night with her parents, David, Meaghan and Matt. Just look at these cuties..

The weekend started with Max spending the night at Grammy and Thirdpa's house. Max usually gets to have a sleepover with them every month and I'm not sure who enjoys it more.. Max, the grandparents or the parents. They take Max on all sorts of adventures, and introduced him to Batman!

He is always worn out by the end of the day from all the fun..

One last Batman snuggle before heading to bed.

Ready to help make breakfast!

Look at that face... food is a very serious thing to Max.

Sandy and David brought Max back to us on Saturday afternoon and the whole family gathered to celebrate Mothers Day. Max brought me a beautiful azalea bush for Mothers Day- He's such a good shopper! Before everyone got here, the skies opened up and down came the torrential rain! We lost electricity and watched the rain from the warm dry house. Max was so intrigued by the pouring rain and wanted to go outside which of course I thought was silly. Now this is why little boys need men in their lives... because Mommies aren't always as fun haha!

Max laughed and laughed! Then he was finished when he realized how soaked he was : )

The water shenanigans continued...

"Oh look at this puddle/lake at the bottom of the driveway... yes i think that looks fun."

"I was right.. its fun!"

"Mommy, do you see what is happening right now?"

After the first of several outfit changes of the evening, we sat down to eat fajitas by candlelight. Justin prayed for the meal- thanking God for his Mom and asking that the power be restored. Several minutes later..Voila! Power was back and we could see our yummy food again! Nothing better than family and good food...
