the coriatys: first mother's day

Mother's Day photo shoot with my handsome boy.

For the past few years, Brian & I have hosted Mother's Day lunch at our house. Since my niece was born in 2008, I've always set the table with 3 special placemats with flowers and gifts: one for my mom, one for Brian's mom and one for my sister. Last year as I was setting the table, I was hoping and praying that in 2013 there would be 4 special placemats - and that one of them would be mine.

So this year, as I was setting up those 4 placemats and getting the house ready with the cutest little boy on my hip, I was smiling from ear to ear. This year, I am a mother! It was an incredible feeling and one that I'll never forget.

My first Mother's Day was perfect. My family (especially my husband) made me feel so loved and special. I think this may be my new favorite holiday :)

Saturday the fam came over for lunch and fun in the park, and Sunday we had a mellow day with just the 3 of us. I had breakfast in bed, snuck away for my first pedicure since Kyle was born, and had some time to take a bath and relax before we headed to a family friend's house for a visit. We ended the day with pizza and Mad Men - heaven!
