Mother's Day

For years this week in May has been MY special week what with birthdays and anniversaries.  It always kicks off with Mother's Day.  I absolutely LOVE being a mother.  I have said it before, if eternity could be spent bearing and raising children, that would be heaven to me. My children mean the world to me.  There is nothing I would not do for them. Mother's Day always reminds me of this special gift I have been given, the ability to be a Mom. 

This year my kids took very special care of me!  It was an amazing day and I feel very loved.  I am very blessed that my kids are always quick to express their love and appreciation for me, so every day is kind of like Mother's Day for me! 

A couple of things set this special day apart. Adrienne woke up early(!!!!), even though her church does not start until 1pm.  She gave me a lovely card and a dozen beautiful carnations that still sit on my nightstand. 

I took Annalina and Joseph to church and snuck away during Sunday school to visit Richard's grave.   I went back for relief society and then the littles and I came home and watched a movie, which I promptly fell asleep to. 

Adrienne and Jon got home from church and while I was at a meeting with the Bishop, they made an amazing dinner of stuffed mushrooms, salad, and mashed potatoes and gravy. It was sooooo good!  After dinner I got a most priceless gift from my kids.  They are as beautiful to me as they are amazing!  I am looking forward to framing these and putting them up in my bedroom.
