This Mother's Day started out with our tradition of the kids bringing me breakfast in bed. I decided to spare you the picture of me in my pajamas sans makeup. Believe me - you do not want to see that. So here we are before church. Gracie really wanted to be a big girl and bring some scriptures. She was ready to go! We actually made it on time because there was no early morning meetings, and Ben was home to help with the kids. Yay!
I had to fill in for the Primary pianist in sacrament meeting. The boys were singing with the Primary for the mommies, so we had a little practice session before chuch, because that's when I remembered that I had to play. Oops. And please excuse the butt shot.
Then we had a nice dinner at the Kazmierski's. Here are the grandmas enjoying their time after dinner. The men of the family cook the meal and clean up. I wish every day was Mother's Day!
We had a little song after dinner, performed by Andrew and Lita. They sang together one verse and then Lita did a solo on the second verse. This is Ben's younger brother, Sam, Ben's mom Nan holding Grace, and Ben's dad Fred.
My sister and her family came that day, so we went over to Grandma Jane's next to visit. Grandma and Grandpa Kirschenmann were there, still basking in the glory of their anniversary! They're still so cute - 60 years and counting!
My uncle Paul and aunt Cindy brought Collin, their Grandson with them. Here are the boys playing some sort of video game. It's like a magnet. If I ever want my boys, I just turn on something electronic and they come running.
The next day Lindsey and I decided to take the kids to the park. It was so nice out, I think I got a sunburn! Here are the kids under the big trees. It's like a natural fort under there, so they played Star Wars, of course.
Here is Matt on the swings. I think he was in there for a half hour. He would swing all day if I let him. He just swings and laughs. So cute.
Joey and Emma get along so great. Here they are on an adventure.
And of course, here's Andrew up a tree. That boy would live in a tree if I let him. In fact, he said he could live in this one. I'm just glad no bones were broken today.
The park we went to was full of sand, and so was their hair when we left.
It was a fun day. We wish our cousins lived closer. They absolutely love to play. We'll enjoy it while they're here. Eric comes on Wednesday, so that's when the real fun begins!
