My First Mother's Day

This was my very first Mother's Day and it was a little surreal.  Last week, "daughter" was one of the words on our spelling list and I made up a sentence about my daughter and it really hit me.  I have a daughter!  Keira sent me flowers in a hugs & kisses bouquet (tulips and irises).  Very pretty!  J.R. gave me a beautiful vintage crystal necklace, also very pretty!  The best part of the day though was the tea party.  Laura and I got together and had an honest to goodness tea party, complete with little sandwiches and scones, to celebrate all of the mothers in our lives.  Her mother and grandmother came and my mother and both of my grandmothers were there, too.  It was nice to be able to sit and chat with everyone.  I think the last time we were all together was maybe Laura and Gavin's wedding.  Having all of those special ladies in one room really made me appreciate having the close family that I do.  Keira is such a lucky little girl!  I repeat my toast: God Bless all the mothers who have made us who we are!  Where would we be without you?

Love you Momma!
