Happy Mothers Day to Me!

So Hallee helped Troy pull it off. The best Mother's Day ever! It started with a gourmet breakfast in bed with pancakes, eggs and toast followed by a plethora of handmade gifts from the girls.
The girls have been whispering secrets all week and working frantically behind closed doors on their craft projects just for me. You can't really see it from the picture above but there were A LOT of pictures and projects. Hope made me an entire book but my favorite is the one below. When I asked her what it was she said, "It's you mom. You're golfing." Ahhhh. Makes perfects sense. (Since I have never picked up a golf club in my life.)
Troy took over the duties for the day and let me indulge myself in laziness. He cooked all the meals, cleaned up afterwards, kept the kids busy and happy and anything else I chose not to do today.
Hallee is now the official party planner and kept Troy on his toes all day making sure they did any and everything to pamper me. In fact, Hallee even fixed me a diet Coke and had it sitting by the computer when I went upstairs to blog. Love it!

I am truly one lucky mom to have such an amazing husband and children who went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful mothers day. And wonderful it truly was! The only thing that would have made it any better would be to have been to share it with our own mothers who are both amazing women! We love you both and wish we could have seen you today. Happy Mother's day!

Wow- you did score today! Let's see...Brian made mozzarella sticks and ice cream for dinner. That ALMOST compares to your day right? What sweet girlies you have. Boys (at least mine) just don't think that way. Ya, I get the cards from school and scouts and stuff, but it's more like they are forced into doing those things! Ha-ha! What a difference! Although, Derek did write in a little letter he made at school that I was as pretty as gold and I weigh 500 pounds and am 10 1/2 feet tall! So ya, I'm feeling pretty special! Happy Mothers day!

I love the homemade gifts and pictures. Troy always pulls through for you - and it sounds like Hallee isn't ever going to let him forget!

What lucky girls to know that their dad loves you so much! They are all adorable, and your Mother's Day sounds just lovely, right down to the diet Coke and time to blog ; )

Wow, I too loved all the handmade gifts. In fact, I still have some very special items displayed 30 years later. Some gifts can never have a price tag.

Happy Mother's Day to a wonderful young Mother.
All my love,
Grandma Susu
