I am one blessed Mom

My Mother's Day (really several days) started off with a program at Matthew's preschool.
It was darling as always as they sang cute songs, including about "fat moms, skinny moms...but the one in the middle..."
Matthew was especially proud to present to me his gift, a bag complete with his hand and foot prints.

The twins each had programs in their classroom as well.  Their cute teachers staggered them so I could catch them both.  It is one of the many times with twins when I've wished there were two of me!  It worked out great and I had a few minutes with each of them individually.

Here is Megan's drawing of me and sweet note.

Here is Katelyn's drawing of me and letter, so love her talented use of adjectives!

On the actual Mother's Day I was spoiled rotten.
 I didn't do any cooking or dishes, got to spend a lot of quality time with my family,
and more than one Sees chocolate bars at church.
I sure love these beautiful kids and am SO grateful to be their mother.
They teach me daily, somehow love me unconditionally, and are such great examples to me.

They made me a banner and showered me with many homemade gifts (my favorite).

 Of course there were perler beads, even Matthew is getting really good at creating these.

 Megan had orchestrated a beautiful book where she asked each member of our family
to list the reasons they love and appreciate me.  What a thoughtful gift that I will treasure always!

How grateful I am also for my own mother, grandmothers, and mother-in-law, for their love and encouragement. 
I am so blessed to be surrounded by wonderful examples from family and friends who are
honor motherhood.
