M♥ther's Day this year...

~Here is our traditional sit-on-the-couch Mother's Day photo.~
There's just something about being pregnant on Mother's Day...It made this "Mother" thing Im doing all the more meaningful and all my emotions were on the surface that day.
(yes the dog thinks he's my child too)

~In our ward at church Sunday morning, Tim's parents were actually the speakers making the meeting significant as they spoke about Mothers. It was sweet to hear Tim's Mom talk about her Mother who was sitting in the congregation and said it meant a lot that she was there, even though she probably had no idea that she was because of her Dimentia. {There's just something about just having your Mom close by that is comforting.}

~That evening my hubby, dad & siblings prepared Dinner for my Mom and I. (I think mom helped a bit...) It was scrumptious. Tim had the idea to spell "MOM" out of cheese & Sara the Talented made this "Queen Ice Cream Cake" (best I've ever had!) & helped my SIL Kayla make chocolate covered strawberries! I felt spoiled...

We visited with both of our Mom's that evening & gave them their little gifts.
We are so blessed to have our Mothers in our lives, 
and are grateful for all that they have taught us and raised us to be.

Brig might just need to take cooking lessons from your family. :) That looks like a delicious spread! I think I might request choco covered strawberries next year. I love your mother's day pic tradition. You are such a sweet mom...I learn so much just from watching you.
