In years gone by, I’ve rarely received a Mother’s Day gift from my children.  Nine times out of ten, I was involved in the Mother’s Day gift-making (at schools and scouts), so my kids always gave their gifts to their grandmas.  Woe is me. 

But, not this year!  Ms. Judy, the Sacred Arts teacher at church for the 3 youngest kids, told the kids that they WERE making gifts for their mom this year.  Isn’t it lovely to have someone in your corner!  Yesterday, I opened my gifts – and look what beautiful bracelets they made me!  And yes, I wore all three of them to church.

Then, we came home and I made lunch for the family and MIL, and then took a great nap.  Oh, and my sweetie blessed me with another fave — a giant chocolate bar with almonds!  woot, am I a special mom or what?!
