What a splendid day I had! My only request was to spend the day with my family just doing nothing special. But there ended up being a few very special moments throughout the day.
1st was my very yummy breakfast in bed. Oh, the best part was not that my hubby set his alarm so that he would wake up in time, but that all 3 of them crawled into bed with me and we all ate breakfast together! That meant the world to me, it was one of those "my cup runneth over" moments.
Next was church, followed by a yummy Mexican lunch at our favorite local place. One of the other highlights was that Avery usually cries at the thought of going to this restaurant because there is a balloon man there who makes different shapes with the balloons. We usually have to go in and check to make sure he isn't there that day and then tell her it's "all clear". But today, was my choice and I really wanted Mexican. Wouldn't you know that the balloon man was there. Avery buried her head in Ryan's neck all the way in. Riley Kate and I stopped and he made us a heart. When we got to the table and Avery saw Riley's heart she spoke up and said that she wanted to go get a balloon. I was so proud of her for being so brave! She even stopped and said bye to him on the way out! Success! It's the little victories in life, isn't it??
The rest of the day we hung out at the house, visited with some neighbors, went on a bike ride, and munched on my yummy ice cream cake. It was wonderful!
To top off my day, my husband changed all the dirty diapers today! Thank you babe!

So glad you had a wonderful Mother's day! Sounds like you got treated like a queen:)
i love that each family "relaxes" in their own way. for some it's spending the day out on the boat, for others it's making a pallet on the floor and watching a movie together and for others it's breakfast in bed! i'm so glad you relaxed with your favorite people:)
