Many of you know that my first son was a Mother's Day gift from the time I first became a Mom. I was in labor with him on Mother's day and he was born the next morning. I have always considered him the best Mother's Day gift I ever recieved! This year, his birthday and Mother's Day fell on the same day...May 9th. What a fun day it was too.
Since his birthday fell on a Sunday this year, we started the festivities on the Friday before at Bryon's chosen Restaurant spot,"Hometown Buffet", as a whole family. Gram stayed home with Amy as she was only a week old. It was a real treat since we don't go out to eat as a family very often, if at all. On Sunday, Steve and the boys made Gram and I breakfast in bed and the children adorned me with cards and flowers. My bedstand was a Mother's Day shrine complete with a beautiful balloon. Steve gave me my escape gift of 1lb. See's chocolate later that day. It sits on a shelf in my closet allowing me a sweet escape once a day. Howdoes he always know what I need?!
After church, we celebrated Bryon's birthday with his chosen oreo ice cream cake and gifts. What a fun way to celebrate Mother's day.

Doubly wonderful Mother's Day. It becomes more and more one of my favorite holidays every year. Children are a gift in themselves so it is appropriate to share the day with your birthday boy (man). Ike was born on labor day so it has a whole new meaning for me...
