Matthew 5:16

Mother's Day 2013


This Mother's Day was a super busy one!  The night before, I'd had a friend and her kids over and they were preparing to leave. McKayla and I didn't even make it to church.. just Sunday School. Then we raced to my husband's grandparents' house, where my MIL had cooked a delicious meal. We opened gifts with Michael's mom and grandma.  My MIL gave me the sweetest card and this little tea towel that says "Life is fragile Handle with prayer". It is so cute and I love it!!

I always, always forget my real camera, but I remembered it on Sunday and got a few pictures of Michael's family.  I love these pictures!  My MIL, my daughter, my husbands grandma, and myself:


I love this one of four generations!



After we left my MIL, we went home and Michael and McKayla took a nap and I painted my nails and did a few other little things. I love my Mother's Day gifts!
 


Sweet card and flower McKayla brought home from school on Friday. I love the poem on the card:
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
The best mom
is you, you, you"

I also got a sweet "Mom" frame. My fave gift was her poem, though!



We then headed to my sister's house for dinner for my mama. It was not only Mother's Day, but also her birthday!  Love the pictures we took there, too!


My sweet family 
(I love how McK threw up the hand on hip!) 



Mama said all she wanted for her birthday was a picture of her family. How'd we do, Mama?




Just kidding. We got a good one, too.... even if Mason is staring at Grammy's head!





Happy Thursday, y'all! One more day til the weekend :)

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
~ Lamentations 3:22-24
