What an incredible day. I will leave out the part that Anthony threw up on my within 20 minutes of me waking up this morn, wait I guess I didn't leave that out did I? Happy Mother's Day to me. :) Got up and started on the prep for the dinner, lots to do. James was such a big help in the kitchen. I probably couldn't have pulled it off without him. We had quite a spread of food and a card table set up in the living room for the "kid table". Ten total in my house eating. I thought someone would end up eating in the bathtub. It was comfortably snug but we all fit.
Everyone enjoyed the food and I believe mom wanted to check me for a temp because of how good everything tasted. ("Is this my daughter?") I tried my hand at homemade stuffing for my turkey. OH MY GOODNESS! I didn't think I could top my sister's stuffing. I would have to say that hers is some of the best stuffing I have had but I did pretty darn good for a first try. I was a bit disappointed in my peanut butter pie. The recipe called for over night in the fridge but it still hadn't set up. Good thing I had a coconut backup. It was gone in 60 seconds! We had a great time and I was surprised by the girls with roses from Papaw's rose bush. Check these out!
Aren't they amazing?
James also brought me a Guzmania that is beautiful too just haven't gotten a pic yet. I do have to say my FAVORITE gift he gave me on Mother's Day is....
Love you honey! I know you would rather buy a stove or flowers than do dishes. I appreciate the sacrifice along with the gifts. ;)
The night ended with an episode of Bill Cosby with my little ones attacking me with snuggles on the couch. What an incredible day! I loved my first "official Mother's day" but I have to say that getting to hear your kids say "Hap Moder's Ay!" grinning from ear to ear is a pretty amazing feeling, even if they just threw up on you in your bed. :) Forgot to mention that part didn't I?
