Trying to get a photo with my kids after church on Mother's Day
They were such sweethearts this morning. They got up bright and early and prepared a breakfast of scrambled eggs & cinnamon toast with milk on the side just for me. Then they showered me with cards, art projects, a poem, and Conner sat down at the keyboard to play & sing a mother's day song for me.
They get extra props because they planned and executed this all on their own. (Scott is in Paris, eating crepes. I know. I'm choosing not to be jealous.) He did leave a mother's day gift for me to open today. A Silhouette Cameo
I saw these cute notes on Pinterest so we filled some out and mailed them to the Grammers. Today I told the kids that they would make my mother's day if they filled one out for me. Their responses

I love the theme of this video.
The greatest thing a father can do for his daughter is to love her mother.
I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to my mom as well. For all that she taught me, all the love that she gives me, the example she was/is, and the confidence she gave me to become the woman/mother/wife/friend that I am today.
