Mother's Day

Mother's Day morning I woke up to an excited Ava.  She had been waiting since Thursday to give me the gift she made at school.  I was amazed at how well she kept the secret of what it was.  Before I did anything else I opened her gift.  Ava decorated a beautiful picture frame with her picture in it.  She also made me a heart card.

After church we headed to my brother's to celebrate with my family.  I had requested pasta carbonara, so that is what Rich made me for my special dinner.  My brother made a tasty lentil soup for his fiance.  My dad just brought my mom and we all shared food.

It was a nice day of relaxing and family.  I enjoyed not doing anything and being taken care of by my husband and daughter.  It is nice to be appreciated and pampered.

Yes, I know I look terrible.  I literally just woke up.  Ava didn't let me do anything before I opened her gift.

The decorated picture frame and card.  Both are beautiful.

We wore our matching skirts that I made.  I am holding a yellow tissue paper flower gave me from primary.

Ava likes to do jumping pictures.

The ladies of the family:  Me, My Mom (Nonna), Ava, & Elizabeth

Ava made this picture for Nonna Carole.  She cut out the sun and grass.  She made the flowers a family and they are holding hands.  I LOVE it!

Ava had so much fun at Uncle's house she fell asleep after being in the car for only 10 minutes on the way home.
