Today was such a special day for me...my first Mother's Day! I couldn't have asked for anything better than to have spent the day with my sweet baby Peyton and the rest of my family. The day started off with Matt and Peyton wishing me a happy Mother's Day before I had even gotten out of bed. I was so excited to open my Mother's Day cards from my two favorite girls, Peyton and Ellie. I also received a late birthday card from Matt because he "ran out of time" to get me one on my actual birthday. After spending some girl-time with my sweet P this morning, we headed to church where we met my parents, Trey, Becky, and the boys.
After church, we all headed to Leonardo's (one of our favorite restaurants) for lunch. Matt's parents met us there so we were able to celebrate Mother's Day with both our moms. Although Jamie wasn't able to come because she had to work tonight and needed to get her beauty rest before she had to go in, her fiance Will also joined us. Poor Peyton was so sleepy that she was falling asleep in the highchair! I couldn't stand it so I pulled her out and she took a nice little nap in my left arm while I used my right hand to eat my delicious lunch. Peyton did however wake up just in time for a quick photo of all 12 of us before we left.
We made a quick stop by my aunt's house after lunch so we could wish her a happy Mother's Day and then we went to my grandmother's to visit with her. Needless to say we were all worn out when we got home and took a well needed late afternoon nap!
I am so thankful to have been able to spend my first Mother's Day surrounded by all of my wonderful family. I am blessed to have such a loving, giving, selfless, devoted mom who continues to take care of me even though I am now myself a mom. I am also thankful for my great mother-in-law who raised my wonderful husband. And most of all, I am especially thankful for my sweet daughter who is more perfect and sweet than I could ever have imagined. She truly is a gift from above. She has made the last 6 1/2 months the best months of my life. I am so proud and honored to be her mom.
