These are all the gifts I got!
The girls first helped Brandon make me breakfast, including crepes with fruit on top! Yum!And Saturday, they worked on making these paper flowers and cards. Who knew Brandon could be so crafty and creative! He even sprayed them with some Febreeze so they smelled nice!
And I was really impressed with Sammi's card and all the writing she did on it. Brandon said she did it all by herself. I know the years of homemade flowers and cards will be short-lived, so I am enjoying every second of Mother's Day this year.
They also got me real flowers. Sammi painted the pot at preschool and planted some kind of flowers in it. When I asked her what kind of flowers they would be, she said Dandelions! ha! I'm pretty sure that is not what they will be, but it will be kind of exciting to see what they grown into! And they also got me the rose plant. When we moved in here 4 years ago, Brandon got me a rose plant which has since grown into a beautiful, full rose bush that we planted out front. I commented a few times about how I was going to miss the rose bush, so he was sweet and bought me a new one to plant at the new house!
And he is planning on buying us a new picnic table for the new house once we move in! So I am very excited about that :)
The girls were so sweet all morning, especially Sammi since she understands what the day is about. She told me "Today is a day to tell our Mother's how much we love them!". What a sweetie! Then of course, they all managed to have a mini-meltdown at the end of church at the same time. But, I just tried to laugh it off and figure that it's all just a part of motherhood. And I wouldn't trade it for anything :)

That sounds like a wonderful Mother's Day! Complete with the meltdown. ; ) I'm sure you handled it with grace. I love the Febreeze on the flowers and the rosebush (way to listen to your woman, Brandon!). That picnic table looks really nice!

Yeah Brandon really out did himself this year! I don't know how I'll be able to match it for Father's Day! And yes, I forgot to mention the chocolate! Ghirardelli is my favorite!
