Mother's Day 2013

With two it is even sweeter!  Emma and Daddy kept whispering and talking for a few days leading up to Sunday. A mysterious package arrived in the mail mid week. Emma made some picture cards for Grandma, G-Bugga, Nanie and Great Grandma and said, "but why? They aren't my mommy!"
Sunday morning Steve and Emma got up early with Annika and let me sleep.  Not that the sleeping was great, but being able to lie in bed for awhile was heavenly.
Then a breakfast in bed that still has me smiling came up the stairs with Emma and Daddy. Emma insisted that I have my usual oatmeal, plus she picked out Surprise muffins to make, Steve cooked bacon, there was delicious tea, juice with fruit, a bowl of fruit and an iPad mini!  It was just the best.  Emma stayed and helped me eat the wonderful spread with just a few crumbs making it in the bed. We played with the iPad a little and I found a song from Zumba. Emma asked to not hear it again after a few minutes! It was will i am's Scream and Shout. Steve came back up later with baby and we got a group photo. 
Perhaps the piece de resistance was the card. I don't know where Steve finds them but he always manages to get the best blank cards. This one was blank but for the beautiful hummingbird and flower art on the outside and inside. Emma wrote "Happy Mother's Day Love Emma" and then added her own flower that matched the drawing. She also drew a hummingbird to match and it looks fantastic! She is a very good artiste. (Steve also had his own sweet message.) I am so lucky!

 

I am loving watching the two of my girls grow up. I can't remember what we did for the rest of the day and I don't need to. The morning is memory enough for me.
