On Mothers Day I woke up to lots of hugs and kisses (always a favorite) and then proceeded to open up the Mothers Day gift that Luke made at school (a cute frame with a picture of an even cuter boy) He had been trying to give me the gift days before Mothers Day - he was having a hard time waiting.
Then I opened a gift from Derek and the kids...a lens that I had been hearing about from my photography friends. What a great surprise! I am anxious to start using it. Maybe it is magical and will help make all my pictures perfect or perhaps I should just continue to take classes, read photography books and keep shooting.
The Mothers Day hoopla continued with Derek saying he would teach my Primary class so that I could go to Sunday School and Relief Society. At church the men made smoothies for all the woman and gave us some chocolates.The rest of the day was spent together as family and going to dinner at Bernice's house. It was a very nice Mothers Day. I appreciate all that Derek and the kids did to make it a special day.
I also appreciate my mom and mom in law for all that they have done for me and my family. I'm thankful for their examples and for the things that I have learned from them.
It is also a blessing to have so many good woman around me that set an example for me to follow. I have amazing friends and family that are great examples of motherhood.
