Mother's Day 2015

I think I love Mother's Day more and more each year. Eleanor was really excited to celebrate this year. I think because Kevin took her shopping for me and they picked out a giant bag of Sour Patch Watermelons. She is excited for me to share.

Kevin prepared a delicious breakfast of biscuits and gravy and hash browns. His hash browns are amazing, by the way. While he was preparing I got to take a relaxing bath and read a book. Church was a bit crazy since it was only my second Sunday as Primary President (the leader over all the children ages 18 months - 11 years old - so in our Ward that is about 170 kids). I had to teach Sharing Time for the first time in my life, and I think it went ok. For the third hour of church the men and young men took over Primary so all the women could all enjoy Relief Society and yummy Paradise Bakery cookies.

I prepped most of dinner the day before so Kevin would have it easy. Homemade lasagna, garlic bread and Cesar salad. Then Angel Food cake cupcakes with whipped cream and strawberries for dessert.

I feel so blessed to have a mother who is the perfect mother for me. She is the perfect balance of mother and friend and I know that I am so lucky to have her. Becoming a mother has been the hardest thing I have ever done, but certainly the most rewarding. I may get a bit overwhelmed by them at times, but I seriously miss them even being gone for an hour. They are my everything.
