mom's day

I love being a mom. I love waking up everyday and seeing these faces. It's not always easy being a mom, but the hugs and kisses make it all worth it. My heart is filled with so much love because of these two girls. This was taken outside church Sunday morning.

I got a bunch of love on Mother's Day. For weeks I've been getting cyptic messages about the Mother's Day gifts they were working on at school. Addison told me she painted a box, but wouldn't tell me what color. Morgan kept talking about a tea pot. And then Thursday afternoon I received this pin from Addison. I wore it to work on Friday and she was so thrilled. I also wore it all day on Sunday.

Morgan gave me a sweet angel picture she made using her hand prints with a poem on the back. She also gave me a card with a painted teapot, a cute note, and a tea bag taped inside. To end the day the girls put on a show for me.

A big thank you to Nana Patsy for making cards with the girls and teaching them this song. It really was the sweetest thing and made my Mother's Day that much more special. We love you!

And mom. You're a great mom and a lot of who I am today is because of you. Thank you for teaching me the skills to parent my own children. We're very lucky to have a Grandma like you!
