Mother's Day

I really enjoyed my Mother's Day this year. We didn't do anything extravagant, my kids didn't get me any big present. I got the best gift, a day spent with my family. My oldest daughter woke me up and made me breakfast in bed; scrambled eggs and English muffins! So sweet.

The week before they were all bringing home gifts from church and school of things that they had made, asking if they could show me. I kept telling them to wait, I wanted to be surprised on Mother's Day. So finally the day came and they were all so excited running to their rooms to get all their goodies and bring them to me.

My oldest daughter had made me cards, she loves to make cards. She has gotten the scrap booking bug from her mom! Jaylen made a growing flower with his photo and a caterpillar magnet. Jayden gave me a silver box and sang me a song; If I had a box to put my mommy in...it was super cute. Inside he was so excited for me to get an oreo cookie (he knows mommy loves chocolate!) He also made me flowers (ones that will never die, haha). Akayla-Joy made me a poster with her hands and a flower magnet. Even Alaya had made me a card with the help of her big sister. (Sorry the picture is sideways, it's not on my computer but turns when uploaded!)

They are the best gifts, ones that took time to make and thought put into them.

We spent the day at my in-laws hanging out. My favorite thing, hanging with family. I'm so proud to be a mommy of five. I am asked all the time how do you do it? And I think...I couldn't imagine my life any other way.
