Mother's Day!

I was thinking yesterday about how this is my 6th Mother's Day! Before we had Gracie, Craig and I spent many months praying that God would bless us with a child when the time was right! He has truly blessed us indeed with two beautiful daughters and I am so proud to be given the job of their mommy! They light up my life everyday and even when I feel exhausted I know that I am truly blessed! I had such a special Mother's Day yesterday! Gracie loves any party/holiday and this was no exception! She had a plan and made sure daddy stuck to it!:) She decided this year she wanted to make me a card and was so cute to make a card from Lillie too! She never forgets her sister! They both "woke" me up (I had been up but stayed in bed until they came in:)) with my cards and lots of snuggles in bed and they gave me a beautiful bracelet I had been eyeing!:) Then daddy whipped up a yummy breakfast of omelets for us and cinnamon rolls for the girls (and us too:) before church! Church was wonderful as our pastor preached on being a Godly Mother and Wife and how important that job is.  We had a relaxing afternoon and then it was off to supper at Olive Garden! The best part was we could spend it all together as a family! I thought it would be neat to go back and post pictures of all my Mother's Days but had a little trouble.  I know we took pictures but I was missing a few...so here's what I found!
