Mother's Day

This year our time was divided between the two families. We celebrated first with Nate's family, and then with mine.

Here's how it went: After church we raced home to put the finishing touches on lunch for Nate's mom. Though Heidi and I are both moms now, we decided that this year would be about her mom. After all, she has been a mom for much longer than we have:). So the three daughters: Heidi, Katie, and myself, made Mother's Day "Dinner". We had a great time being together. Here are just a few pictures from celebration number one: Grandma, Rachel, and Anna

After dinner it was off to my parents house for appetizers and desserts! (Oh how NOT hungry I was.) Here are a few pictures from celebration number two!

Katie had the most brilliant gift idea this year! Each of us kids, and grandkids, oh and my dad too, wrote letters of love & appreciation to my mom, and they were written on paper flowers, forming a bouquet of love.

Getting a good picture with the kiddos was difficult.

Now that I am a mom, I appreciate my mom even more!

Happy Mother's Day!
