Yesterday was my second Mother's Day (although I was pregnant with Weston for Mother's Day 2010).
Doug and Weston did a really good job of loving on me yesterday, as they do every day.
*A disclaimer: I think that Mother's Day is another holiday thought up by retailers to make more money. I feel that children are a huge blessing and there doesn't need to be a day set aside for mothers (or fathers).
We started the morning at church and then met my parents for breakfast. Afterwards, we went home and all three of us took a nice nap. When we got up, we started getting ready to go to dinner. We decided to go early so that we could beat the dinner rush. We pulled up to the restaurant before 4:30 and we were told it would be an hour wait (which it was). Guess we didn't beat the rush.
While we were waiting to be seated, I opened presents from Doug, Weston, the dogs and my parents. We also gave my mom presents as well. Doug got me a book I've been wanting to read, Weston got me the Beauty and the Beast DVD because I want to collect all of the Disney movies, and the dogs got me a new iPhone cover. My parents got me a fan to help combat the hot Alabama summer since, lucky me, I will be pregnant until the end of August (or that's the plan).
We got my mom a picture frame from Weston that says "I love you Mamma". I saw a deal on the frame and since we can't find anything with Mamma on it, I decided to order it. And then it occurred to me that I should have waited until Grandparents Day in September. Oh well, she enjoyed it. We also got her a chaise lounge for her back porch so she could sit outside and read.
