A Mother's Day Re-Cap.

Although this Mother's Day was different it was definitely memorable. One doesn't need to have a huge celebration to feel loved and to be honest all my past mothers days have pretty much been simple and extra sweet. Since both our families live across the country we don't have any one coming over nor do we. For the past 14 years it has always just been us, and I actually like it that way. I do hope that when my kids get older and have a family of their own that they will come visit me if we live on the same side of the world. Other than that it's always the little things that matter. The simple joys. The simplicity of a homemade card with a drawing on the front cover. Uttering those three words Happy. Mother's. Day. Burned toast, and raw eggs for breakfast. Oh wait, that was when the girls were little! Seriously though...hugs and kisses, a good hamburger, laughter and a simple walk through a tulip garden makes this momma happy. And a quick trip to D.C. to eat at Cookout and take in the temple under construction was a treat too! These great kids-I'm so honored to be their momma, and so happy that Lexie got to spend one last Mummy's Day with me before she took off on her mission! More pics below...
