Weekend in Pictures: Mother’s Day 2013

As I mentioned in my last post, we had a very easy weekend for Mother’s Day.  On Friday we celebrated my birthday as a family, and my sister bought me that delicious cake above.  It’s a Tiramsu cake from Goldilocks, which is a bakery/restaurant specializing in Filipino cuisine.  This cake is divine and my mom and I get it each year for our birthdays.  Saturday was celebrated at Scott and Erika’s place (our good friends), for the first birthday of their adorable son, Jett.  Sunday, my husband, son and I went shopping before meeting my sister and her family for dinner at Italian Cucina at Barona Casino (we dropped my mother off at the casino early so that she could get in some slot games before dinner).  I used to take my mom to Barona during the weekends before I got married, and we always would partake in their fantastic buffet.  My sister and her family ate at Italian Cucina for the first time a week ago and loved it, so they thought it would be a great place to spend Mother’s Day.  After our delicious dinner, my sister, mom and I were each given a beautiful tulip as a Mother’s Day gift, which was a nice surprise.  I hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
