My Special Mom

Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. It's always been so fun to have our birthdays so close. (Hers yesterday, mine today.) My mom is one of my best friends and such a special person. She has a wonderful heart and has always been such a great example to me. I remember a couple of years ago when I taught Sunday school we did this little activity where we wrote down the best thing about our Mom. I wrote: The best thing about my Mom is that she loves God. I know there are so many other wonderful things about her, but I believe most of what makes her wonderful, and the person she is, is because she loves God, and seeks to follow Him.

The girls and I went over to her house for dinner and dessert last night. I wanted to bring Mom flowers but while I was at work on Monday got an even better idea ... we have these flower cakes that we make completely out of fresh flowers. They are so pretty they look good enough to eat - which of course you can't do because they are flowers!

Here are some pictures from last night:

Me and My Mom, we have a very special bond and a wonderful friendship. I'm so thankful for her!
Yes we look a little ragged, the girls and I were in the pool all day and didn't really spruce up before pictures!
Grandma's girls ...

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
