Mother's Day Weekend

I had a great Mothers Day and am so grateful for such a wonderful husband and 4 great kids! Neil took me out for lunch on Saturday, to PF Changs (just the two of us), which was SO nice! I was glad we could fit it in, between the scout service project, riding lessons, a soccer game, a birthday party, and a scout fundraiser dinner. Busy day!

Neil got up with the kids on Sunday morning, to let me sleep in for a little while, and to help them make me breakfast in bed. The kids originally wanted to do it all on their own, but Neil convinced them to let him help. It was delicious! And they were all so excited to bring it to me and sit with me while I ate. It was very sweet! Then Neil helped the kids get ready for church while I took my time. :)

The kids were all so cute on Friday & Saturday, sneaking around getting gift bags & tissue paper, and hiding in their rooms to wrap their surprises that they made for me at school and at home. I was very spoiled with my favorite chocolates, real flowers, paper flowers, and even a cute flower made from pipe cleaners & felt, a framed poem, a statue, and a little clay pot (all the gifts from the kids, they made completely on their own), as well as lots of sweet homemade cards with gum and various things attached.

Neil has a nice dinner all planned for tonight, with Tomato, Garlic, & Basil marinated chicken, french bread, asparagus w/ garlic, and a double chocolate cake for dessert.

I'm so grateful to be a wife & mom and feel very loved! Thanks to Neil, PJ, Tessa, Jonah, & Clay for making my day great!

Oh, Jen, you are too nice. Not so sure about the "babalicious" comment. I almost didn't put it on here, but I figured the picture wasn't too close up, so what the heck. But thanks for the nice comments. :)
