I know that Mother's Day was over a week ago, but I wanted to take a minute and write about the best Mother's Day I have had to date. It all began with my wonderful husband giving me 5 new work-out shirts. What a thoughtful gift! I have been wanting some new shirts for quite a while so I was very pleased. Then my 16 year old son got up early and made me breakfast...not breakfast in bed because we have early church, but breakfast non-the-less. He made pancakes and not just ordinary pancakes, but pancakes that said MOM. Of course they were so delicious and much better than the oatmeal that he and a sibling attempted a year or two ago. It was very sweet of him. Then my 13 year old daughter presented me with a beautiful necklace that she had made herself which I promptly put on and wore to church. Upon arriving at church I was surprised to see that my son was the youth speaker that morning...a fact that was indeed a surprise for not only me, but my husband as well. Spencer was quite pleased that he had managed to pull off that surprise. Good job Spencer! Then after church my oldest daughter gave me a framed family picture that we had taken just before McKay left on his mission. This brought me to tears. Each gift that was given was thoughtful and meaningful to me and I couldn't ask for a better husband or children. At about 2:30 in the afternoon we were able to talk to McKay. What fun that was. He sounded great and is doing well. My life is so full of blessings as are all of our lives if we will just look for them and recognize them. Mother's Day has never been my favorite day of the year, but thanks to my family, this year was great! Thankyou!!
