Mother's Day!

I had such a great Mother's Day today. Right when Kelsey woke up she came into our room to find out what I wanted for breakfast. She gave me a choice of my favorite things and went downstairs with Peter to start making breakfast. They brought my breakfast and coffee up on a tray to me, and I sat in bed and ate and drank coffee. It was so special! Then Kelsey gave me a card that she had made and a present that she had bought with her own money. She and I had gone to a jewelry party a couple weeks ago. I didn't know that she had brought her own money and arranged with the hostess to buy earrings for me without me knowing! I love the earrings, and they are extra special to me knowing that she put a lot of thought into getting me a present. She even made Grandma a jar filled with strips of paper listing what she loved about her. Maybe some of her thoughtfulness and kindness will rub off on her older siblings :) They slept through breakfast but did manage to give me a hug and kiss for mother's day :). After breakfast Peter and I rode our bikes to Fred Meyer to buy steaks for dinner. We had a great ride in the beautiful weather and enjoyed spending time together. We then went to watch Kelsey's softball game at Alpenrose and went to visit Omi. We also went to Starbucks for 1/2 price frappucinos and stopped by mom and dad's to wish mom a happy mother's day. Peter barbecued very delicious steaks for dinner, and I cooked up the veggies and warmed up some of my favorite bread (sourdough with kalamata olives). After some family pictures (yes, Conner can now actually give me a piggy back ride, and Kelsey tried to stand on her tiptoes so she could be as tall as we are...) we ended the night with ice cream at Cold Stone. I truly feel like the luckiest person alive to have been blessed with the most incredible mom and to have such a wonderful husband and kids.
