My First Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day!!  I woke up on Sunday morning and pulled my sweet little boy into bed with me while Daddy was downstairs making breakfast!  He made me an omelet, biscuits, a fresh fruit medley and a mimosa. He brought it up on a tray so that we could have breakfast in bed!  It was great!!   What a way to start the day!  

My parents came over and Mom and I planted flowers outside.  It was fun, but tiring!!  Vahe grilled out (yummy!!) and my dad got to take Brian on a walk around the neighborhood.  The weather was perfect and we really had a great day.  :)

It was so much fun celebrating my first Mommy's Day, but it was also awesome to see my mom get her first Mother's Day as a Grandma!!!!  I have always appreciated my Mom and everything she has done for me, but now that I am a mom, I appreciate her on a whole new level.  Being a mom now, I see things so differently. She gave me a card that said it so well.....

"Daughter, you're a mother now and you know what it's like to hold a little someone in your arms and realize you would give up your own life to protect this precious being.  You're a mother now, and you know what it's like to look into a little face and see a trust so complete your heart aches with the responsibility.  Now you know the feelings of a love so deep it goes beyond anything you could have imagined.  Now you're a mother, too."  SO TRUE!!!!

Thanks to Vahe, Brian, Mom and Dad, I had the most wonderful Mother's Day. :)  And thanks, Mom, for everything you've ever done for me.  I love you so much!!

I hope all of the moms reading this had just as wonderful of a day!!  Cheers to all of us!

Love,

Lauren
