After we had lunch on Saturday, the plan was to make a knock off of an Edible Arrangement for the next day.
This was the beginning of the project:
This was the end of the project:
Aaaaaaand this was most of the middle:
I sat with a bowl of melted white chocolate on my stomach and "quality checked" any piece of fruit within reach. What? Someone had to do it!Mother's Day was even better with a get together of most of the family. While I'm not an official mom yet, I certainly have some amazing moms and women in my life. My cousin hosted lunch, and all our generations ate and laughed our way through a wonderful afternoon.
It's pretty crazy that there will be four of us next year.

Okay, so even without all the food, I would have loved the weekend with my mom. Even the part when she wanted a picture together where I "looked really pregnant!" (That's love that I actually did it.) Just kidding. I'm blessed with a damn fantastic mom, and I hope I do half as good of a job as she does. Happy Mother's Day Mom! xoxo.

Happy Mother's Day, mom-to-be!!
Happy Mothers day!! You are in fact a mother. You are caring for and nourishing and loving babies already!
Looks like a fantastic weekend!
I think I celebrate all holiday's by eating. Hope you had a Happy mother's day! I bet next year it will be awesome.
Look at you - hopefully the kids will get some of that artistic ability!
You are so cute!! You really look great in all the pictures! I love the one of you with the bowl on your belly! That pregnant belly sure does come in handy!!
You look so beautiful! I love the pic with the bowl on your belly!
Nice job on the fruit arrangement.
What better way for a pregnant-with-twins mom-to-be to celebrate mothers day than eating?!?
Happy belated mom-to-be Day! Such great pics, quality assurance is an important job!!
Yay, this must be such a significant Mother's Day for you!
You look super cool taking down that edible arrangement. I'd probably just stick my face in it and get goop all over my face.
Quality checker is an important job. Don't underestimate that. :)
Happy mother's day, XC2. You're gonna be a great mom.
Wow, I'm impressed - great job on the edible arrangement!
that basket looks awesome!! what afun idea. Happy moms to be day!
I say you're not truly pregnant until you've used your belly as a buffet table. Awesome! Enjoy that convenience (and the excuse to use it) while it lasts :)
Holy CUTENESS!! I remember fruit tasted soooo good when I was prego. FYI being prego makes you a Mom and that is CRAZY that next year there will be 4.. WOW!
you look so adorable. pregnancy is not taking it's toll on you at all!

You are one HOT mamma! What a nice weekend and I'm very impressed with your fruit arrangement!
Looks like a fun weekend! And your tummy as table is adorable!
Looks like you had a fun weekend. And quality testing the fruit was so necessary. You wouldn't want a bad piece to slip in there!

I am a fruit addict these days although I am nowhere near as creative as you with that edible arrangement.
Love the bowl on the belly pic!
You look great! Can you imagine how much fun next year will be with your two here!!!
Glad you enjoyed Mother's Day as a mom-to-be! You look super cute!
Quality control is SO important! :0)
You look great! I would've eaten the fruit and chocolate too, and I'm not even pregnant!
you are such a cute prego lady, and so small for twins! hello!!! i feel like that without any babies :) i would done more than "quality control" on the chocolate and fruit, that's for sure.
You look awesome!!! You are supposed to eat a lot when you carry twins. ;o)
Happy (belated) Mother's day!
Looking really good, XC4!
Sounds like an awesome time with mom and the fam! Happy Mom's Day!
Yum!
What a great looking family. Next year, will certainly look different.
you are such an adorable mom to be! happy mothers day <3
So, I haven't checked in on your blog in awhile (obviously) and when I saw the first pic I thought "damn she got fat!" Congrats on the buns! I'm tending to my Reader now so I will be a little more up-to-date with your life :)
You are too cute! The best thing about prego pictures is that you don't have to worry about remembering to suck in! You look fabulous. Hope all goes well and keep me posted. Miss you!
okay super mom! cute arrangements!
Holy cow, your mother's day was like a whole event! That edible arrangement was awesome! If I want one I have to order one from the company because I could never actually make one. You look great by the way...
Ok, it's late, but, Happy Mother's Day! I'd have totally spent it eating everything I could too.
Do I see a post of all the running things you can sit on top of the baby belly coming? You've gotta be coming up with lots of great uses for it!
You look really cute and little. The best place to rest a bowl of white chocolate is a pregnant belly. No doubt.
Happy belated mother's day!!!
You are SO freakin' cute all prego!!!
Love these photos! I agree that you're a mom right now taking good care of those babies.
Happy Belated Mother's Day, you cute Mama!!
