Mother's Day is the BEST!!

This Mother's day I ABSOLUTELY loved!! It was sooo fun! Jake took Avery shopping the other night to get me a present. I guess he took her to JC Penny because I had seen a purse there that I wanted. Anyway, apparently they didn't have the one I wanted so he found three and set them on the ground and let Avery pick it out. She picked out this really cute green one and apparently wouldn't put it down!! So cute! (and just a side note, I was getting out of the car, put the purse on my shoulder and Avery proceeded to point, say purse and smiled! I don't know if she knew it was the one she picked out, but I liked to think she did!! It was very cute!) Jake made it so special and enjoyable. I was woken up to breakfast in bed, which consisted of sugar coated strawberries (MMMMMmmm), toast with homemade strawberry jam, and chocolate milk! Breakfast of champions! Ü Jake then got Avery ready for church. We have 9 o'clock church so we are normally in a rush to get out the door, but Jake had gotten the diaper bag ready and Avery all ready to go. At church, the primary kids sang to their moms and one of our class members that we used to teach, Vlad, came up and gave me a hug, and told me Happy Mother's day! My heart melted again! How sweet, a 16 year old would come up and give me a hug and tell me that! It was very sweet. Jake made we lunch and we spent the rest of the day together as a family and went up to my parents for dinner. All the boys made dinner, lasagna, my favorite again!! and it was delish! It was just a really good day. Not only am I grateful for being a mom, I am so grateful for my own mom. What a great example she is to me and such a great teacher! Happy Mother's day mom! I hope it was as good as mine!! Happy Mother's day to all the other cute mom's out there! What a fun holiday!!
