What a Great Weekend!

I was lucky enough to have an amazing first Mother's Day and anniversary weekend. It started on Saturday by me getting to sleep in (WooHoo!) because my excellent husband got up with Avery. We had a lazy morning and then dropped Avery off at my mom's house for her first sleepover at Grandma's. It was really hard to leave her for so long, but let's be honest, she is probably in better hands with my mom. Anyway, we checked into the Bellagio and got ready for our big night out. I forgot what it was like to take a shower without a time limit. 

After getting all dressed up, we went to what was one of the best dinners either of us had ever eaten. It was a benefit put on by Bon Appetite, showcasing 5 incredible chefs (Michael Mina, Todd English, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Julian Serrano, and Jean-Phillip Maury). Absolutely ridiculous. 

Sunday morning we checked out of the hotel and went to my mom's house for brunch and to pick up Aves. In addition to Mother's Day, Sunday was also my dad's birthday, so we went to dinner to celebrate that. All in all, a pretty incredible weekend. Also, Avery is smiling more and more so I've included some pictures so you can see those dimples!

I hope that everyone is well. Sixteen more school days and I am officially a stay at home mom! I can't wait to spend everyday with my peanut :)

Two months old!
