Mother's Day Weekend

I had a great mother's day weekend! My choir sang our final concert series of the season with the SA symphony... ending with a bang (literally-- some intense Russian music). I love the challenge and practice I get with Mastersingers.

Then Sunday was awesome, of course, because I have a wonderful family that I'm so grateful for! Ben and the kids are great at making meals, and gift-giving... but I love how Mother's day makes me so in-love with my kids, and grateful that I get to be their mom.

With Abby in school, she brings home a lot of fun projects to share with us. For mother's day, she made me a big card and dyed paper for making a flower bouquet (the one to the left). On her card, she filled in questions about me, and drew a nice picture of me (which later, she wanted to add "dots" on the face for my freckles...I told her "no, that's okay, I like it the way it is," and took it away). According to Abby, my job is to take care of her, my favorite color is brown, my favorite food is hot dogs, my favorite thing to do is play barbies. I think she started answering them in first person. I loved it!

This year was especially great because we got to share mother's day with Ben's mom. We loved having her here! She's been sick for a while, so it was great to get her here and have the girls spend time with her. We got to take a quick trip to the beach and enjoy the warm water and sand (her favorite!) We'll blog more about the trip later. But thanks for coming out, Linda!

Megan and her boy, Tanner, came too, and those cousins loved playing together. They all have different shades of red and it was so cute to see them together.

SO it was a fun, eventful weekend. Hope you mom's enjoyed your special day!
