My Kiddies, Making cookies with DaddyI LOVE being a Mom!!! And I LOVE Mother's Day ... I don't often get breakfast in bed, but that's ok, I'm NOT a fan of crumbs!
I love it because of my husband ... I can ask him for pretty much anything ... and he agrees!
So the last couple of years I've started my own little Mother's Day tradition: I make WHATEVER I want for supper!! I make a very nice dinner which takes a LOT of prep on saturday and Jarem so KINDLY deals with the children ... then on sunday he helps out again while I do the final touches for dinner. I can't remember what I made last year for supper but I remember dessert! THE most important part anyway.
So this year I was feeling very down about things around here and then I remembered it was MOTHER'S DAY in a few days! So I started planning ... first a guest (aka a Very Deserving Mother) ... check ... menu ... check ... grocery shopping ... check (with a wonderful HUBBY and 3 kids in tow) ... then PREP DAY!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Sunday was perfect ... church in the morning, all my little Primary Kiddies sang wonderfully for thier Mothers, then skipping choir, quiet afternoon while baby and MOMMY sleep ... and then dinner prep. Again VERY enjoyable!
Our Very Deserving Mother (along with her hubby and 3 kids in tow) arrive for dinner ... which consisted of: 3 Cheese Manicotti with Italian Sausage (my kiddies FAV, so I knew it wouldn't be a fight over dinner), cooked veggies, DELICIOUS salad (courtesy of Very Deserving Mother) and homemade buns ... YUMMY!! BUT the best part of dinner is the most incredible dessert ... White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake ... homemade of COURSE!! and Jarem ATE it!!!!! I made it last year; it's fun to do AND so incredibly good!!!!
We had SUCH a great evening ... everything tasted so nummy, kids played SO good and the adults were able to enjoy a nice ADULT conversation! And then of course a conversation with my own beloved Mother!! It was just such a GOOD day!!
I Love Mother's Day!
