I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year. The fact that I am a mother to three amazing children, is enough of a gift for me. I honestly could not ask for a better family. I have always wanted to be a mother, but never in my wildest dreams did I think that God would bless me not once, but three times with such great kids. They are the light of my life and each day that I get with them is a true gift. I feel so incredibly blessed each and every day.
I also feel so blessed to have such an amazing mother. A mother that taught me so much over the years. The most important lesson she taught me was how to be an amazing mother. She is so thoughtful and caring. She does so much for everyone and I am so blessed to be her daughter. I know I will never be half the mother she is, but I am so thankful she is in my life. My kids are pretty darn lucky to have such an amazing Gram too. They love her so much.
My Mother's Day started the way it does every year, with breakfast in bed. The kids woke me up by bursting into our room with gifts and a tray of food. Dawson was especially cute. He was so excited to give me the gift he made at daycare. He was literally jumping up and down. He made me a picture on a canvas and it was so cute. It means the world to me. Ashlyn made me a bunch of pictures and gave me a heart frame with a picture of the three of them in it. Both of their gifts came from the heart and that is what matters most. It was all just perfect!
Unfortunately, the weather was just awful on Mother's Day. It was really cold and snowy. Normally, I would have requested that we go to the park or on a walk, but that was out of the question. After breakfast, the kids and I snuggled in bed and watched a movie together. After that, my sister and I decided to take a little time for ourselves and go shopping. Shopping without kids is a rare treat so we really enjoyed it. We also went and got foot massages which was just heavenly! What a great time we had! We ended up going to dinner at my parent's house. With such a large group, there was no way we could have gotten into any of the restaurants in town. Mother's Day is just too crowded. Instead, we had a nice casual dinner at my parent's house and I got to spend some time with my mother. It was a very nice day. I just hope next year the weather is nicer!
