I had a nice Mother's Day that started with making my older kids help clean our house before the company arrived in the afternoon.    After the morning cleaning it was a rather relaxing day.   We ordered some excellent food from a local restaurant and I had my mom, my niece and a couple of my brothers who came over for the afternoon.   The best part of the day was the fact that I was forced to be in a photograph and it turned out rather nice!

My crazy niece and my husband with the obnoxious faces made the picture great!   We really should do a family photo of as many siblings as we can gather together it would be a nice gift for my mom.  The smiles here are genuine which makes it even better, we had a really nice time and lots of laughs.   A perfect Mother's day topped with caramel salted brownies : )
