Friday, my girl met was so proud to give me this gift (she has since carried it around and stuffed little random items in it.
Here was the sweet treasure inside.
Sunday, I got the two sweetest cards and a gift card to do with what I wish! I also got this questionnaire. I love these and it makes me sad that they get more accurate as she gets older!
Of course we got a kick out of "her favorite food is everything" and "my mom is best at cooking." She thinks the smartest thing I ever said (or did, I guess), was "put bacon on shrimp." She actually knew my correct age, which was pretty impressive.
Her sweet Sunday school teacher helped her make this:
After church, I had cheese fries for lunch with my two favorite people. Avery Claire was so tickled that they brought me a flower. She'd told Dusty earlier in the week that all moms liked flowers for Mother's Day!
We went home, where I got to take a Sunday afternoon nap, too! See, I told you, didn't I??? Most relaxing Mother's Day ever!
I'm a lucky, lucky Mama.
We hated that we didn't get to see our mothers on Mother's Day. We decided to wait a few weeks 'til summer to travel to CC so we can stay more than away and a half.
The longer I'm a mom, the more and more thankful I become for mine. She is seriously the best. I remember telling her often that she was "the best mom in the whole entire world." I still believe that. And now my baby girl says it to me, which warms my heart beyond anything I could explain. Because I know how, by saying that, I was trying so hard to make sure my mom knew how much I really loved her. So if my girl feels a small fraction of that love for me, I know I'm doing something right.
Thanks, Mom, for always being there! I am so thankful for the mom you've always been and just as thankful for the friend you are now.
When I married Dusty (but really even before), God gave the most wonderful 2nd mom. I could not have asked for a better mom-n-law. She has always treated me like one of her own and I couldn't be more thankful that she raised my sweet husband to be the wonderful husband and Daddy he is.
