Mother's Day 2014

I had a lovely Mother's Day.

I woke up to Rylee announcing "We're making you a special breakfast!"

and quickly ran out of my room.

She quickly came back jumped on the bed and gave me a huge hug and a kiss and a "Happy Mother's Day!"

Kelsey attempted to do the same and ended up just head-butting me. She meant well.

I was thrilled that the youth were taking over primary classes including nursery so I was actually able to make it to an adult meeting! YAY!

 

The girls were so sweet and gave me lots of extra hugs and special gifts.

Rylee has been really into art, drawing, and letter writing lately so I received an abundance of those wonderful things!

 Michael was very sweet and took over for the day. I was very relaxed. Border-line bored. I attempted to help clear the table after dinner and Michael objected.  As he was busy loading the dishwasher he asked Rylee to come get me, have me sit on the couch or play a game.  Kelsey ran right up to me grabbed me by the hand and led me to the couch she turned me around and pushed my legs so I'd sit down.  lol. She was so proud! Maybe you just had to be there but we laughed and laughed. Due to the reaction, we then had to repeat the activity several times.

This was from Easter, I just forgot it in that post.  Our lovely set up: I busted out the china with my new glitter chargers (they're so pretty!! :)) I even chilled the salad plates. The nice thing about big holiday dinners is the leftovers. I almost didn't get a big enough ham (since it was just us this year, I just got a small deli one).

Back to today. . . I was quite spoiled Sunday I'm still working off a Mother's Day 'hangover' - back to waking up, cooking, laundry, setting time-outs and contemplating potty training. ::sigh:: In all seriousness, I'm very grateful for all the wonderful women in my life: My own Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmothers, Sisters, in-laws, Friends I see amazing qualities in each of you that I admire and inspire me so thank you. You are incredible.
