Mother's Day 2016

This year I had a wonderful Mother's Day! I enjoyed sleeping in until 7am (I usually wake up with the kiddos between 5:30-6am..LOL) and was woken up by two sweet girls whispering, "Happy Mother's Day Mama...Let's open your gifts!"

I was able to get a cup of coffee down before we started ;)

 Lindsay made me a beautiful pin of puzzle pieces with her photo on it... I wore it to church later that day.

 Madison colored me a beautiful picture and helped Daddy wrap my gift: An Ice Cream Maker! I have a huge crank-style one for parties, but have always wanted a "counter top" fast one. Everyone Scores on this gift!

 Later in the morning we went to church and afterward had a delicious lunch at Outback! Mama got a steak and lobster..YUM! Andrew was quite the little gentleman at lunch, and all the kids went down for a nap at the same time so J and I got to hang out together! We  skyped with my Mom and Mother in Law and wished them wonderful days, and sent lots of hugs and kisses. I am so grateful for the legacy and wisdom both my Mom's have given me, I hope to impart those gifts to my own children.

I've been a Mom for 6 years so far, and I can still say with all my heart, being a Mom is the best job ever! Love you Lindsay, Madison & Andrew xo
