My First Mother's Day

Today I was honored to celebrate my first Mother's Day. We celebrated at our house with family, and had a potluck luncheon. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside in the shade of the sycamore tree while we visited. We spread out a blanket for Jackson to play with his toys on, and he spent the day playing and trying to eat leaves and grass. By the way he was watching his cousins play, we could tell that he can't wait until he's able to run around with them.

I was especially happy that Matt's mom and my mom were both here to celebrate with us. Since my mom lives in Washington State, it's been a few years since we've been able to spend Mother's Day together.

I received the digital picture frame I wanted from Jackson (Matt), as my Mother's Day gift. I have to admit, I wasn't too surprised as I had cut out the ad, circled it with green marker, written “Mother's Day” on it, and handed it to Matt (I've found that it doesn't pay to be too subtle). I guess I'll just have to pick out my own presents until Jackson's old enough to make crunchy eggs and pancakes, and macaroni necklaces for Mother's Day. * grin *
