Mothers Day

I've never been a Mothers day person. Or, a Valentines person or any other "hallmark" holiday person. I love my birhday, Thanksgiving and our wedding anniversary. But..............Today...... was by far the best mothers day I've ever had. Possibly because I had zero expectations or possibly because Mark completly went out of his way. I guess it depends on how you look at it.

The Country Club had a huge brunch so the kids and I hung out until Mark got home. We then went to El Mirasol, my favorite, for delicious margaritas and food. We rounded out the night with a family game of Yahtzee and ICarly on Nickelodeon. I got awesome cards, great gifts and loving time with my family. Cards will forever be my favorite. The fact that someone takes the time to write something means the world to me. But......besides the cards I got some priceless gifts. Peyton's class made an adorable cook book that I will use even though he's afraid I won't. Drew made me a beautiful key chain and card demanding that I make her pancakes with syrup. That was awesome! She's a girl who knows what she wants. Mark gave me a gift certificate to the spa. Maybe it's a subtle hint he's tired of rubbing my back but I'm okay with that. I'm super excited to go! It's been a wonderful day enjoying being together as a family and seeing our kids be so excited to celebrate. Being a mom is so rewarding but nothing compares to that look or kiss from a child that just seals the deal.
