This is my 4th year to celebrate Mother's Day. The first time, I was pregnant with Landrie and Lamar sent me a miniature rose bush at work to commemorate the day. Each year, the excitement has grown and my Mother's Day gets sweeter and sweeter each year. This was the first year that Landrie really understood what was going on.
She and Lamar had surprises in store. Last night, they had a closed door meeting about their plans for today. This morning Lamar jumped up at the first sound Karsyn made and gave her breakfast (a rare treat). Then once Landrie was awake, she came in and told me "Happy Mother's Day" and that I couldn't get out of bed until my surprise was ready.
I heard them working in the kitchen. Lamar told me later, that Landrie made the blueberry muffins mostly by herself. She got out the bowl, the eggs and cracked the egg herself. She was so proud of herself!
After a while, Landrie and Karsyn came in our room with cards for me. The card from the girls had a iTunes gift card--a great surprise. Landrie didn't want to share the credit with Karsyn, but they both scribbled on the card for me.
We had a wonderful breakfast and a very relaxing day. Tonight we had a family dinner at my parents and celebrated 3 generations of mothers--My grandmother, my mom and me. The girls stole the show as usual, but it was really nice to have all of us together for dinner for the first time in a while.
Happy Mothers Day to the mother's reading this!! I hope you had a great day too!
