I might just have a new favorite holiday. Mother's Day is the BEST! I got spoiled all weekend starting Friday morning. The girls both woke up early to eat so I fed both of them and let them play on our bed and they ended up falling back asleep on me! This NEVER happens. If I am lucky enough to have one that wants to cuddle up to me, the other one keeps her awake and from going to sleep on me. I was so glad Tia was there to document it so that i know it wasn't a dream. I was in HEAVEN.
Tia spoiled me the rest of the weekend. He took me up to City Creek on
Saturday where I got a few new things. It was fun to go there as a
family; shopping has never been one of his favorite things, so it was
really nice he took me there because he knows I love it. I also am a
little indecisive (ok, very) so I wasn't fast but he was super patient.
These shoes were in Baby Gap. We had to get a picture with them but
weren't about to spend over $20 each (on sale!) for a few times they
would wear them.
Later that night we went to the Timpview Dance Concert and it was so fun to see all our students from last year. Whitney, the person who did the program with us last year was there so we went out with her after. It was so fun to catch up! When we went to pick the girls up from my mom's, this was on their car seats.
I thought that was so clever and sweet! Thanks Mom!
On
Sunday I got to sleep in while Tia got the girls' ready for church. I
think the girls favorite holiday is Mother's Day as well. This is why:
He did clean up the mess :)
They have such a fun daddy.
When I finally got out of bed, I came down to find these:
And this with a very sweet note on the back.
Notes
from Tia are some of my favorite things in the world. At church we had
such a wonderful sacrament meeting. When we got home, I just relaxed
while Tia made me breakfast for dinner which included chocolate chip
waffles. It was delicious. Isn't he cute?
We spent the
rest of the evening at Purcells. All the mothers: 
The number of mothers in their family
has grown a lot this year. We had a second yummy dinner and they gave me a
beautiful red rose and some jewelry sets.
Not only
was Mother's Day wonderful because I was incredibly spoiled, it was a
wonderful day to reflect on how blessed I am to be a mother of two sweet
girls, and especially stay home with them. I am so blessed to have a
husband who works so hard so that I can be home with the girls, because he knows that is
important for them and me. And I am so so grateful for all my own mother
has done for me. Having my own kids makes me realize all my mom has sacrificed for me. I am also grateful for all the other mothers who have made a difference in
my life! Thank you!

What a sweet post. Love the old pictures and the new! Tia is such a gem. "Okay. We're done." Hahaha. Keep the videos and pictures coming! I always watch videos of your girls over and over. Glad you were spoiled! Sounds like a great first Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteOh I loved the picture with them asleep with you in bed! Glad they did that once for you (at this age)! Sounds like you were really treated wonderfully on Mother's Day - way to go, Tia! Love all the pictures and those two adorable girls!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! They are so cute sleeping on you! City Creek looks like it was so fun - I LOVE those baby shoes. Too bad they cost so much! Baby Gap is the worst, everything is so cute and way too pricey. Your Mother's Day looks wonderful. Tia is so sweet. :) What pretty flowers and did he really make that card? Wow. I love the picture of you matching Mutti!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to have 2 sweet babies fall asleep on you?! Sounds like a great Mothers Day! Love the pictures and video.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Heather-He made that card all by himself :) And yes it was the most amazing few minutes with them asleep on me. Love you all!
