My First Mother's Day....

Was more than I could ask for! I had a wonderful day waking up to my chatty little girl and my handsome husband. I was showered with love and gifts. McKenzie and Daddy got me my cookbook holder that I've been wanting. I LOVE IT!

I also got a Mommy is.... magnet from McKenzie but I think that is more for Daddy's benefit than hers LOL.

We went to church and had just a great time of fellowship with our Sunday School class - McKenzie went to the nursery for the first time :) I officially have my first peice of McKenzie artwork which is already hanging on the fridge - and of course it makes me smile every time I see it!

Afterwards we dropped off gifts for our Mommies and then Daniel took me to the Italian Oven for lunch. It was delicious!! And for my Mother's day treat - they took me shopping. I got a new pair of shorts whoohoo that brings my short total to 3. I'm slowly getting a new summer wardrobe - yes it's pathetic I know but having bigger hips now doesn't help any and well I had slim pickins to begin with. I'm trying to take advantage of the new bermuda shorts before they go out of style so I can have plenty of them. I love the bermuda shorts! I don't have to worry about bending over and exposing myself with all the other skimpy skimpy shorts out these days - ok that's my soap box.

It was the perfect ending to Mother's day when I got to spend my evening playing on the floor with McKenzie as she was rolling over and over.

I now know and understand the full meaning of the phrase "you will never know the love of a mother for her child until you have one." I love her more than words can express!
