I had a beautiful day of being celebrated. Brian did a wonderful job preparing a special day for me with our kids. I woke up to a big breakfast of fried eggs, cinnamon rolls, bacon, raspberries, coffee, and mimosas. The kids were so excited to give me the cards that they had decorated for me and Brian read me a sweet interview by the kids. He asked them the same questions separately and then recorded their answers for me. It was sweet and super funny to read their responses! I love being their mama.
We watched our church sermon online and there was a surprise for me! Our Kids Ministry Pastor Jeff Zaugg, is good friends with Brian and he asked him and other dads to record videos of their kids saying what they love about their moms for Mother's Day. It was fun to see my kids sharing what they love about me.
This Mother's Day was bittersweet for me for the first time. In the past I have always loved celebrating Mother's Day with my amazing mother. For many years my sisters and I would treat mom to Caribou Coffee and pedicures at the nail salon. I am so incredibly thankful for all of the time I did have with my mom and for all of the beautiful memories that I will have of her forever. I know that her legacy will always live on in me. I am the kind of mother that I am because of all of the love that she poured into me all those years. I am so thankful that I have hope that I will get to see her in person again. I love her forever and I am so blessed to have had the best mom ever.
My sisters came over yesterday afternoon and we painted our nails in honor of mom. It was so helpful to be together for the afternoon.
Brian ordered a Mother's Day special bundle dinner from T-Box and it was delicious! It was great to have a day off from cooking and cleaning!
Last night Brian and I showed the kids one of our all time favorite movies for the first time, The Princess Bride. We skipped the scarier parts. They loved it and it was fun for us to see a movie we have not watched in years. I love our sweet family time together.
Greta wanted us to wear our matching headbands.
Daddy got Greta down for a nap. I love watching my kids sleep. They are the sweetest!
