All about the mamas

The moms (and grandmas, great-grandmas, aunts and great-aunts!) took a well-deserved break for brunch today. There's no better way to celebrate Mother's Day than food, wine (hopefully no whine) and family!
Ellie shares some love (and a goldfish) with Mama. (You should see Grandpa's trick with goldfish and a fork.)
It's a challenge to sit still for a photo when there are snacks and kiddie cocktails to be had! But we somehow managed to catch Ellie and Will with Busia and Grandma.

(Will was particularly elusive to those of us playing photographer today, but he was such a good boy at brunch. You should see him wield a knife and fork to cut his own food!)

Again with the snacks, Elle (courtesy of aunt Liz)? I hope you shared with great-aunt Valerie!
Ellie's name for Grandma is still evolving. So far, it resembles Yaya or Eiyi. We're getting there!
Move over moms: every day is Grandpa's Day, where Ellie is concerned.
