The day started out in the bright early morning (at least for us that is....) at Breakfast at Ben and Katie's house. They cooked the whole family a scrumptious meal of cinnamon swirl french toast, cheesy potatoes, a green chili egg dish, peppered bacon, fresh pineapple and strawberries, and strawberry Bellini's....it was delish! As usual, Katie hosted the event with such elegance, thanks Sis for spoiling all of us Mom's on Mother's Day...we love you!
We had a wonderful morning visiting with my Grammies and my mom, and we were able to shower each other with gifts in showing our love and appreciation for one another, thanks for all of the goodies mom and grandma! I have been SO blessed to be raised by such a wonderful mom, she really is the epitome of "the best mom in the world"! I think I can also honestly say that I have the two best grandmas in the world as well, they have been such a big part of my life for these past 26 years and have played a huge role in shaping who I am today, I don't know what I would do without them...I LOVE you guys!
Each year Mother's Day has become more significant for me. I have received the three most precious gift's any Woman could ask for. Getting to look into the eyes of my three beautiful children every day is such a surreal experience of what a true miracle this life really is! There are no words to even describe the way it makes a mother feel, and I feel so blessed to be able to shower them with love everyday and have that same love reciprocated back to me times three!
After having breakfast with my side of the family, we headed on over to celebrate with the Stoddard side of the Family. As usual, grandma Julie hosted her usual Sunday lunch for the whole gang, on today's menu was: Spaghetti, salad, and strawberry shortcake for dessert! Of course I forgot to bring my camera, therefore I didn't capture any of the action, but the afternoon was definitely fun-filled with trampoline jumping, running around in the yard, and the kids spraying each other with the hose. Thanks goodness we finally had a sunny day!
Keslin and Bronwyn finished of the day by swimming in their pool and playing with their water table. They had a blast! It seems like forever since they've been able to play outside for more than a half an hour before it starts raining! Raelyn finished off her day by taking a long snoozer, the festivities and sun wore her out:0)
It's been a day filled with lot's of luvins for the momma! I hope all of you mom's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!
Grandma Flo-Joe and I.
