We celebrated Mother's Day today since tomorrow Eric works the majority of the day.  So here it is:
After snuggling for a bit with the two oldest kids, Eric got out of bed with them and let me sleep in.  At 7:30am I was awoken by my 4 favorite people carrying one of my favorite foods; chocolate chip cookies and milk (the cookies which I had made the night before).  They also handed me a daisy shaped gift bag.  Emmett had informed me last night, "we don't have a surprise for you!" So I was speechless when I opened the bag and discovered exactly what I wanted, a creamsicle chewbead necklace!!  I LOVE it!  It's even cuter in real life!
After devouring my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with a touch of cinnamon (my favorite cookie recipe ever) I got ready to head to my friends' house to photograph her family.  I love meeting friends' families.  I am finally able the picture the people they speak about and understand more who they are.  I photographed my friend Aubrey, her parents, her 3 siblings and their families.  I really had a great time.
I've been so in the mood for the Greek pizza at CPK so we went there for lunch, followed by some shopping.  We even saw Thor at Toys R Us!  Whatever makes the kids happy makes me happy!
The evening finished up with McDonalds (I asked that we not cook tonight :)) and now I'm editing photos, blogging and watching a movie.
I felt very loved today!  I love being a mom!
