Mother's Day blessings 2012

I'm so blessed to be their mummy!


My Mother's Day started appropriately, with my coffee, bagel and girls in bed.
I received the perfect greeting - a Beauty and the Beast themed card that played "Be Our Guest" - and a lovely new handbag.

 From there, we went on to church, and then home to talk to Nan, Pop, Dean, Jenny, Euan and Big Nan.
Then, while the girls rested, Stace went out and purchased lighting for our back yard while I bought a giant patio umbrella and base online. We're gearing up for summer!

Then, after dinner we met my family for frozen yogurt and a gift/card exchange.

 Not only am I blessed to be a mother, I'm thankful for the fabulous mom I've learned so much from and who continues to guide and assist me. And, I'm thankful for my mothering role models in Sue and Aunt Patty. The examples they all have set mean so much to our family! (And, a happy birthday to Sue!)

Here are the assorted gifts and pictures the girls made me. Cora decorated the vase and painted my portrait in preschool, and Miss Lorrie and Miss Kayla organized a little mini concert the children performed for us moms.

Unfortunately, the vase cannot be left out on display, because the cats believe than any vessel of water must be emptied. Luckily, when they knocked over the vase after I set up this photo, it didn't break and the "keeper" artwork wasn't ruined.
