A busy Mother's Day...

I cooked my bootie off for a Mother's Day Brunch!

Menu
♥ Baked Ham (Mario & Karen)
♥ Potato Crust Quiche (missing from photo - darn!) w/Sour Cream & Chives
♥ French Toast Casserole
♥ Craisin-Orange Cream Scones w/Cream Cheese & Orange Marmalade
♥ Chocolate-Hazelnut & Vanilla-Coconut-Craisin Biscotti
♥ Cheese filled Crepes w/Strawberry Compote
♥ Banana Bread
♥ Fresh Fruit Plate w/Yogurt Strawberry Dip
♥ Chocolate Covered Strawberries (Claudia)
♥ Mimosa's & Fruit Juices

I'm not gonna lie... I was exhausted - but I was happy to see that I got it all done and in time too! ... and, I think all the moms enjoyed themselves.

I barely had time to rest before we were off to see David Copperfield at the DCPA. I had a chance to see him perform live when I was in high school and he is just amazing. A little stranger than I remembered, but amazing.

It was awesome to see Darren's reaction. He said excitedly "I don't know what I'm going to do if he does this one!! I just don't know if I can handle it!" Of course, it was the same expression with each trick. We had great aisle seats and at several times, David Copperfield came up right by us. For the one where he made himself disappear right off stage and appear in the audience - he appeared three seats behind us. And for the last trick, where he brought audience members up on stage to make them disappear, Mondo was chosen as a "witness" and got to go on stage too. I loved it and would do it again in a second. But it was just over an hour - I wish it would have been a bit longer :)

WOW! The meal looks and sounds AMAZING! Good job Tommie!
I have never seen David Copperfield in person. I think that I would probably enjoy a magic show. Hope you are well.

The goal of a great performer is to leave them wanting more. Guess he accomplished that.
