My Mother's Day

Yesterday the kids and myself and my friend Whitney went to the store to get a snack for Nicole's soccer team who had a game at 2. Nicole kept seeing lots of flowers and things that you would get for Mother's Day gifts. I never said anything about them but she saw all these flowers and it reminded her that it was Mother's Day soon and she really wanted to get me something. So I told her I would get some cash and she could come back later with someone else to get me something so it would be a surprise. So my friend Whitney said she would do it and here's what Nikki picked out for me all by herself. I love them! They are so beautiful!

And the card says "We don't need much to be happy..." "Just a whole lot of each other!" "Have a great Mother's Day." and it plays a song when you open it. I think she did a wonderful job making my Mother's Day special.

Today in primary Nikki drew a picture of the flowers she had given me for Mother's Day.

And this is what I got from Garrett. They did this in nursery. It says:

Happy Mother's day

Sometimes you get discouraged,

Because I am so small,

And always leaving fingerprints,

On furniture and walls.

But everyday I'm growing,

I'll be grown up one day.

And all those fingerprints,

Will surely fade away.

So here's a final handprint,

Just so you'll recall.

How little my hands were

When I was very small
