Being a mom is the best. Being celebrated as a mom is better than the best. I loved my day of church, time with Micah’s family, a nice drive to San Diego, time with my mom and all of my sisters (+ one brother), a fantastic meal of filet and potatoes cooked by the men, presents between the sissy’s and mom while the men cleaned up, watching my kids in heaven with their cousins, driving home in silence, coming home to gifts from my husband and kids and nodding off.
Sissy/Mom gifts were awesome. I got a hair color/cut trip from my mom. A sweet homemade Snuggie from Tristen. Candy and stationary from the always talented Megan. And the best was a homemade card from Trilby and the girls. It said “to our 2nd mother”….and gave me a pedicure. How cute that I was considered her 2nd mom! Love it!
And from my own family……
From Micah….my favorite. A cooking class with my favorite chef at the Laguna Beach Culinary Institute.
From Navy….a dress I saw in Ireland and loved for her.
And from Scout…..the cutest shoes I also saw in Ireland and loved. I love that they say “mum”.
A great day….especially because Micah says he still is working on my last present….my letter. Presents are great. Letters are better than great!
My gift wasn’t so great for my own mom. I was under the impression that she wanted a kumquat tree (which she specifically said she did), but when I gave it to her, she laughed and said that I was the one who wanted it. I told her that I would happily take it back and get her climbing iceberg roses instead. She told me she didn’t want any climbing icebergs either, but then I told her that….yes….she did. Off to the nursery today!
