Mother's Day was fantastic!
I have to tell you though... I usually am not such a fan. I have, in the past, been known to throw a couple of crazy temper tantrums where you could hear phrases like "THIS IS MY DAY!" or "Why doesn't everyone just leave me alone?!?" being thrown around.
Yes, I know... Mother of the Year.
I don't know what happens to me. I go into brat mode or something. ANYWAY, this year I was on my best behavior and it was absolutely lovely.
To start off the day, Dan gave me a GORGEOUS new purse!
Isn't it beautiful? He is the BEST gift giver... he always has been. Thanks, babe!
Then the kids gave me some gorgeous market flowers.
The kids gave me some lovely earrings. This was my favorite pair...
(They are costume, not real! lol)
Scarlet gave me my FAVORITE perfume. It's delicious!
We then went to church and the men surprised all the women with a luncheon during the last hour. It was SUCH a surprise and SO sweet of them. It was so fun to hang out with all my favorite girls!
All the ladies in the pics above are my favorite people in the world! Julie, Michelle, Julia, Jennifer, Megan, Cheri, Tonya and Sara... LOVE you all!
After church we went to lunch at PF Changs with my mom, dad and brother. It was lovely! The lettuce wraps... honey chicken... yum!
I then went home and did nothing! Absolutely NOTHING!!!
Thanks for the great day, sweet family...
where can I find a Dan for me? :0)
Pink Sugar is one of my very favorite perfumes too. Who doesn't love to smell like a cupcake?
Happy Mother's day!!!

Are you kidding me? Can your ward call my ward?! I got a potted plant.

I had a couple moments like that too...."its my day". The sad part is that this was my first Mother's Day.

What a great Mother's Day. Funny....I've been known to throw tantrums on that day too! I can't believe your ward had a luncheon. The most we get is the chance to go to R.S. while the men cover the necessary classes! I'd really just like a day off of church on Mother's Day, if truth be told!
