Mother's Day

 Another Mother's Day was just celebrated here and I thought I would capture a couple pictures for posterity.  This was the way the table was set up for Kristen as she came down this morning.  There were cards, flowers, baloons and gifts.  A pretty good display, if I do say so myself.

As Kristen came down to check everything out, she was all smiles.  Especially since she had some coffee in bed to help her start the day.  It was a new dark coffee that I bought as one of her gifts called Obsidian.  She also got some dark chocolates to enjoy as well.  Jaden made mom a card with an optical illusion in it.  Jude had a painting he had made at school and Jacob had helped Dad with a card as well.

We enjoyed Monkey Bread for breakfast with all the boys as Kristen opened everything up and she was very happy.

We had one other gift for her, but it was not much of a surprise...though the way she got it may have not been expected.

You see...somebody had pretty much made it known that getting a Pandora bracelet was not a request...it was pretty much a demand as she had been talking about it for a couple months...not just to us but even to her classmates.  So, that is what she got.  I picked up the bracelet, two spacers and a charm for her to start her collection.  You can kind of see it on her wrist...a beautiful blue charm to remind her that her three boys got it for her on Mother's Day.

Then, after church, we enjoyed a lunch out as a family (including Papa!).  Hopefully, a good Mother's Day for Kristen.
