Oh wait.
But still...if I realized how much fun celebrating Mother's Day was, I would have started making babies years ago. It's like another birthday, another Christmas or any other symbolic celebration that simply says: "job well done". I get that it's just another "Hallmark Holiday" but with this one, Hallmark is on to something.
Obviously I am just hamming it up and don't believe the celebration of Mother's Day is reason enough to have a baby (...just one of the many reasons) :) And on another note, I have enjoyed celebrating this day to thank the moms in my life but boy is it fun to reap the rewards! (teehee).
***WARNING*** Good guy alert and another event where Chris went above and beyond himself. Never did I think I would end up with a guy who's thoughtfulness, creativity and surprises ALWAYS out do mine. He is good.
So why should my very 1st Mommy's Day be any different? Because it wasn't a day, it was a WEEKEND!
Friday morning, we had 3 wonderful visitors, Dad, Ann and Leona!! They came bearing gifts as they always do now (for that precious lil' Aves - boy is she lucky!). Ann bought her a beautiful Fairy to place in her nursery and Leona gave me a Baby Scrapbook which is just my thing!! Our Friday evening was spent browsing around the Anthem Outlets shopping at some of my favorite stores leaving just in time to pick up the infamous Carambas for dinner!
A Saturday morning 5K with my adorable cousin, Allyson, was a great way to start the day! She is the most mature 11 year old I have ever met (well, Tahlia would give anyone a run for their money when it comes to maturity!!)...I SO enjoyed spending quality time with her while jogging through Kiwanis park. She is such a sweet, inquisitive, smart young lady; I adore her. My mom showered me with an Amazing 1st Mother's Day necklace and Keepsake Box that I will keep forever! It is gorgeous and personally engraved with me and Aves' names!! Chris worked his magic by whipping together a video of the event before the last girl even crossed the finish line.
And after Aves and I managed to take a 2 hour nap, Chris' amazing aunts (Jeri & Donna) came to watch Avery so Chris and I could spend an afternoon at the spa!!!!! And what spa do you ask???? Where else people? The Joya Spa of course!...and with the most amazing masseuse ever, Angela Gibbs!!
Oh no, it doesn't stop there. A unexpected gift came with Avery sleeping from 8pm to 3am. Yes, folks...I will take it!
Want to hear the craziest part of all???? It's not even actually Mother's Day yet! But the actual day was just as great. I kicked into my Kleaning Kelley mode and tackled the house cleaning chores. Yes, sadly I enjoyed this as if it was a gift! Chris took Avery to LeAnn's in the afternoon while I took a nice long, 2.5 hour nap. Awwe. We finished the weekend off with dinner at our house with Glenda.
Wow oh wow. THAT was an Incredible weekend!
I am one lucky mommy.
