Our Mother's Day Celebrations

 Rick had to work on actual mother's day, but over the weekend he took me to my restaurant of choice for  dinner &  I chose Friday's. 

I scarfed down my dinner because I could not wait to get to that dessert!!! 

I'll have you know my mouth was all watery, & my eyes so big when the waiter put this big white plate in front of me covered in chocolate & caramel syrups with a big fat oreo ice cream on it. 

Kid you not, before I even got to touch it, Emma snatched it off my plate & helped her self! 

She quickly realized it was making her hands sticky so she surrendered the Oreo to her sister who was repeatedly begging for it to be her turn. 

Oh Molly...she had practically a whole adult size dessert handed to her and the girl ate...

And ate....

And ATE! until there was not one single bite left!!!

bahaha 

I was in total disbelief. Neither Rick nor myself touched it. 

She consumed the entire almost $6 oreo!!!

NOW do you see why I HIDE from her when I want to eat????? 

LOL 

But I truly enjoyed that dessert almost as much as she did! It made me so tickled to see her enjoy herself so much with that oreo! 

And that was after she had a kids meal of spaghetti & mixed fruit!

I just don't know where she puts all this food! 

In honor of Mother's Day the girls hand made cards for their Granny & Nannie

Here they are hard at work!

Emma Grace

stretching as far as she can so she doesn't get dirty! LOL 

Priss pot had no idea that as soon as she was done, we were making big fat handprints!!! 

Bless her heart-love her!

Molly Bear

Love how she has to hold the paint while she is painting :)

Emma HATES anything sticky or slimy on her hands so it was a pretty big girl thing she had to do when it came time to top off her cards with her hand print!!!

She was not excited about it but she toughed it out without much fight & I was so proud. 

My Sweet lil Artists!!!

On Mother's Day evening, my mom, brother, sister, & Christine & her son Josh came over for dinner.
I cooked us a nice meal, & my sweet hubby baked me a red velvet cake Mother's Day morning so we had that for dessert in addition to the cheesecake Christine brought.

My mom got me 2 beautiful hanging plants for my front porch & I am  so excited about them! I am going to try so hard to not kill the things!! LOL
I think plants are beautiful, I just have the hardest time remembering to water them. :-/

She also gave me a sweet card that said how proud she is of the mom I am to her grand babies.
I needed to hear that! And it really blessed me that she said so.


Forgiveness is a very important part of any relationship & I am learning to not only forgive but also to ask for forgiveness. 
I don't say this nearly enough, but I am thankful for my mom & I am blessed for the opportunity to make my relationship with her stronger .


I had a wonderful mother's day with my mom, and with the little people who call me "mom". :)
Hope you all did as well!
