Alan's birthday and Mother's Day

Happy Birthday Alan!

The kids with Alan on his birthday.  I took them to the dollar store and they all chose one thing that they thought dad would like.  I was fun to see what all of them picked.  Alan loved it.

Two of Alan's favorite things (besides chocolate) - blueberries and cheesecake.  It was so delicious!

Happy Mother's Day!

Jonathan's 1st grade class had a special Mother's Day breakfast.

Livy made me a breakfast in a bag at her story hour to open on Mother's Day so that I wouldn't have to cook.  She was so excited to give it to me and have me open it.  I can't believe that she waited from Tuesday to Sunday and didn't even break down and tell me what was in it or open it.  She is a great secret keeper.

Me eating my breakfast, well, all that was left was the oatmeal after the kids helped me eat my doughnut and drink my juice and with 4 little mouths to feed there wasn't much left.  HA!  It sure was fun all sharing together.

Alan made a wonderful lunch - his famous Sesame Chicken, with sister Schubert rolls and an amazing salad.  Yummy!

He also made me a delicious red velvet bundt cake.  I am just so spoiled.

I have such a great husband and wonderful children who made my day very special.  It is great being a mom.  It definitely has its hard days but I wouldn't change it for the world. There is nothing more rewarding.
