Mother's Day 2011

It was a wonderful Mother's Day this year. :) It started out with two very excited kiddos meeting me on the stairs as I came down in the morning to give me the cards they had made for me and the gifts they each had for me - Noah a sweet frame he had made with his class at school and Rachel a magnolia leaf that she loved. So very, very sweet. I loved each of the cards they had made for me and they both offered to make me breakfast - so cute. When Doug got up they also gave me a gift certificate for an hour long massage. Very cool! After I had excercised and gotten everyone ready we headed out to lunch at McAlister's. It was good as usual and not too crowded. After lunch the kids and I headed over to Mom's to spend Mother's Day with her and Christina's crew. So good to get outside and watch the kids run and play. We took some pictures and talked and laughed. We all talked to Amie - wishing she were with us - as usual. We missed you A!! Later that evening Doug joined the rest of us at Olive Garden for dinner to finish our day of celebrating. It was a very nice, very relaxed, happy day. Thanks to everyone who made it special!!!
We want to send out Happy Mother's Day wishes and love to Doug's Mom, who spent the day with her mom in St. Louis. We missed you and hope you had a very special day too!!!
