My Day.

All day yesterday, I told my kids the top ten reasons why this was the best Mother's Day ever.

10.  I woke up to hugs and kisses and Mother's Day wishes.  They were earlier than I would have liked, but they were initiated by the kids and that made my morning wonderful.

9.  Jared, Evan and Anna all created special Mother's Day cards for me and they were so excited to share them.  I loved all of them and the thoughtfulness behind them.  My children know me well!

(I do not smack Evan!  He likes when I playfully push him.  Geesh--I wonder what his teacher thought??)

8.  My parents came down for the weekend and helped me with the kids.

7.  The kids and my Dad made a yummy pancake brunch for us!

7.  I was able to spend a lot of time with Tyler prepping for his school play.  He also presented a talk during our Sacrament Meeting at church.  The topic--his mother. :)  He wrote and prepared it all on his own.  I am so proud of him and all of the hard work he put into the past week.  "What doesn't kill you makes me you stronger!"

6.  Rob came home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And we were back together again as a family.

5.  Rob came home!!!  With a beard.  And muscles.  

4.  The children sang a beautiful song during church to all of the mothers.  And of course, I cried.

3.  We all lounged around in the evening, watching the video recording of Tyler's performance of Peter Pan since his Dad missed it.

2.  Then we watched the season finale of our favorite show to watch as a family...Once Upon A Time!

1.  We were all finally home under the same roof.  Best.  Mother's Day.  Ever.

I hope yours was just as great.
