Mother's Day

Reading a card

    As usual, I am very behind on my blogging.  Too much to do in too little time.  One day I will get all caught up.  As usual, I had an amazing Mother's Day and I was very spoiled by my children.  The kids woke me up bright and early with the handmade cards and gifts they made for me.  They were so sweet and just melted my heart.  Ashlyn gave me card telling me how much she loves me and how much I mean to her.  Gifts like that I will cherish for years and years.  I also got a gift card to my favorite makeup store which is such a nice treat.
        We decided to have everyone over for brunch on Mother's Day.  My one stipulation was that I was not going to cook anything on Mother's Day.  My sister came over the day before and we worked on lots of yummy brunch food that could be popped in the oven or needed no cooking.  Technically I cooked for Mother's Day brunch, but I did zero cooking on Mother's Day.
    My entire family came over including my grandma.  It was so nice getting to spend time with everyone.  Joey's Dad was even here for the festivities.  It was a really nice morning with lots of great food.
   After we ate, my sister and I went out and did a little shopping.  It is such a nice and rare treat to shop with no time constraints or kids.  We had a nice time.
    For dinner that night, I wanted Chipotle.  I love Chipotle and we haven't been there in a long time. I wanted something easy that we could eat at home.  It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
    I am so incredibly blessed to have 3 amazing children.  I am also blessed to have such an incredible mother.  I am one lucky lady that's for sure!
