The Best Mother's Day!

By -
 I don't know if the kids were trying to make up for all of the whining, crying, and complaining on my birthday . . . but they made this mother's day super great!!  The went above and beyond with all of the special things that they did for me.  I am so thankful for my kiddos (good days and bad days)!!

They all let me sleep in a bit and then cute Lily led me on the cutest scavenger hunt.  




















The scavenger hunt led me to a treasure of love notes and homemade crafts from all of the kiddos.  It was so so sweet!


 Garrett spoiled me and made me yummy crepes for breakfast (even though we have 9 am church)!

 Sweetness from Crew

 Sweetness from Boston.  I love the word search that he created all by himself!

 A little book that Boston put together at school.

Sweetness from Lily.  I loved how she also made me a crown to wear while I was on my scavenger hunt.

We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
