I hope everyone had a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend. We started ours off on Saturday night with grandma.<\/p>\n

They had a lovely reception at Cherry Creek for all the women residents. There were snacks, fruit punch (fake sangria) and sangria. They even had an acoustic guitar player.<\/p>\n

Grandma got a lovely carnation from Sharon.<\/p>\n

She also got first dibs on the sangria.<\/p>\n

For our part, we got grandma a Mother’s Day card and the Annie soundtrack<\/a>\"\" that she’d been wanting since we watched the movie.<\/p>\n

Kudos to the Cherry Creek staff for putting together a nice reception for the residents. <\/p>\n

On Sunday morning we met dad, mom, and Jenni at Piccadilly Grill for brunch. We were on a bit of a tight schedule because mom and dad wanted to be at Derby Bowl for Logan and Matt’s first bowling league at 12:30 PM and then I had a Zumba class to teach in Andover at 1:00 PM. We managed to make it work.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of the fantastic brunch spread.<\/p>\n

The buffet today was double the size of their normal brunch.<\/p>\n

In addition to the regular buffet, there was a waffle station, omelette station, and a ham and roast beef carving station. They also had smoke salmon, various cheeses, and tabouli. Piccadilly is a Mediterranean restaurant after all.<\/p>\n

There was a huge selection of cakes and pies for dessert.<\/p>\n

Made me wish I didn’t have to teach Zumba so I could stuff my face silly. I still tried, though. At almost $25 per person, you best believe I tried to get my money’s worth. LOL. I’m kidding! I behaved (for the most part).<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m really glad that we got to have brunch today at Piccadilly. Brian told me that they’re going to be tearing the place down so today was the last Mother’s Day brunch before the demolition happens. I hope that Piccadilly Grill returns after the new building is finished. The thought of the restaurant closing really makes me sad. There are very few places that serve a fantastic brunch buffet here in town and Piccadilly is one of them. <\/p>\n

If you’ve never been to Piccadilly Grill, I highly recommend checking it out. Specially since their days are numbered. Who knows when they’re reopen or if they reopen after the construction is complete. Check them out and let me know what you think in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
