Mother's Day Love

I really enjoyed being spoiled by my family this past Mother's Day. It was a fun day! The day before Mother's Day, my mom, Ella, and I went shopping. We visited a local plant nursery and my mom bought me this birdhouse for an early Mother's Day gift. Jeff put hanging hooks in it, and bought the little metal chain and hung in a tree in our backyard. I love being able to see it through the kitchen window. Now we just need to add some bird seed and hope a few little birds will make it their home. 

Mother's Day morning we went to mass as a family, and I enjoyed this yummy breakfast before we left: chicken sausage hash, two poached eggs, and potato pancakes. It was delicious!

I am mommy to these two precious loves and they make me feel like the luckiest mom in all the world!

Jeff surprised me on Mother's Day with ten arborvitae bushes that he planted along our fence line. It makes the not-so-pretty chain link look nicer and helps us have some backyard privacy from our neighbors. Thanks, Jeff!

We had dinner at my folks' house that evening and I loved celebrating such a special day with my mother and my grandmother. They are both such wonderful, beautiful women and I aspire to be the loving, thoughtful mothers that they are. 

This was a bouquet we took to my other Grandmother (not pictured) because all moms (great, grand and the like) deserve to be spoiled on Mother's Day!
