This year for Mother's Day, my sweet little girls made me necklaces using beads Jade got for her birthday. Amber also brought home a school project. David and the girls made french toast for breakfast. I didn't even know David knew how to make french toast! What a yummy surprise! Both girls were very excited for me to open my presents - they had put their necklaces for me in plastic Easter eggs. The happiness on Amber and Jade's faces when I wore their special necklaces to church said it all. I'm so grateful to have three beautiful babies who love me and a wonderful husband to make me breakfast. Thanks family!
Jade took this picture for me. I had to kneel down cause she kept getting pictures of my belly....
PS - This ward we're in now ROCKS! Usually we mother's get a lame carnation. If you're lucky, you'll get a half-dead rose. In our Buckeye ward, we didn't get anything! But this year, our ward gave every woman over 18 a small bag of CHOCOLATE!!! It's about frickin time! I've always wondered why the dad's got chocolate for Father's Day but we mom's only got a stupid flower that died before church was even done. Well, this is one ward that gets it. =D

I too like when they give chocolate! Alas, we got the 1/2 dead rose this year.
