Mother's Day - Part 1

Wow - we had a jam packed weekend! Saturday morning, Briana's gymnastics center held their "Spring Spectacular" to showcase everything the kids have learned in the past year. I am going to post about it later in the week, but let me tell you - Briana cannot stop talking about winning her purple medal.

And Mother's Day was terrific! Doug let me sleep in, and he and Briana went out in the morning and brought me back breakfast. Yes, I had breakfast in bed! As the bedroom door swung open to wake me, Briana yelled, "Happy Mother's Day!" and handed me flowers. And Doug bought me a new Flip video recorder - I'm a lucky gal!

After breakfast, I sat out on my upstairs back porch with Briana and enjoyed the beautiful weather. It was in the low 70's with a slight breeze. The sun was shining and everything was lush and green. A perfect morning!

Here is my porch...

Briana decided to hop up on the storage unit.


Then she lied down on it.

Then she decided to grab a pillow and a blanket and slide underneath the little coffee table and pretend to sleep.


After a restful morning, we all got dressed and headed over to my Mom's house in the afternoon. Briana and I posed for some Mother's Day pictures before we left. Briana was wearing her favorite polka dot dress and a light pink bow. I wanted to put a bright pink bow in her hair, but she wasn't having it. It HAD to be the light pink bow.


Gosh I love Briana kisses! Well, that is part 1 of Mother's Day. I will post more in a day or so!
