Mother’s Day

| May 16, 2018

Mother’s Day! And I can always count on my cutie to make my day special. We had really wanted to go down the shore again this year since last year was so amazing, but it rained. Boo. We decided on a nice quiet day at home, and a tasty dinner. Mark said he would grill me and mom some steaks. Yum!

Sam had everything wrapped up beautifully. She did it all herself.

My first gift was a necklace with some little birds on it representing our family. I love it!

The only thing I could think that I wanted this year as a gift was a new iPhone. So, I ran out that morning and got one. Sam was prepared and bought me a new phone case. It is so pretty. It has little birds and says, “I love you Mom.”

This is the gift they made at school. She decorated the envelope herself.

Inside was a sheet that was called, “Top 10 Reasons Why I Love My Mom.” My favorite was the first one. I love my Mom because she reads me chapter books. Reading is so important to me, and to Sam. I am glad she enjoys that time we spend together every night. Her class had a special project where each family was supposed to write out a family recipe on a sheet sent home. It was all very top secret! Sam worked with Mark and they sent it the sfinge recipe for the cookbook. It’s a nice keepsake, not only for me, but for Sam someday.

Sam had a special something for Mark too. She had been working on a painting for him for his birthday and it wasn’t done in time, but here it is!

The three girls! We look like we are dressed for winter. Stupid weather…

The kitties gift was a bit delayed, but it finally arrived all the way from England! A necklace of two cats sitting together, one big and one small, just like my babies.

I had a great Mother’s Day. I am so lucky. I have an amazing mom, an amazing daughter. All the things that make Mother’s Day special. 🙂
