A special Mother's Day!

Top 10 fun facts about Mother’s Day:

There are 84 million moms in the United States.

That's a whole lot of lucky children out there!

Very interesting!  Probably because men know if they "forget" they won't live it down!?!

Well we weren't one of those restaurant goers

Every single year {as long as I can remember} dad {and husbands...but mostly dad} 

has made breakfast for the mom's of our family! Lucky us! and lucky me that I have been part of this tradition now for TWO years!

There are more phone calls made on Mother’s Day than on any other day of the year. An AT&T survey estimated that 122.5 million phone calls to Mom are made on Mother's Day. Other Mother's Day findings revealed that 11 percent never call their mothers, and 3 percent of the 68 percent planning to ring Mom up called her collect.

Luckily my sister and I live in town so we got to spend the morning with our mom!

"brother's, did you guys remember to call your wonderful mom? and not collect I hope" :)

I woke up to a bright blue eyed little man who snuggled with me and gave me kisses..something I look forward to every single morning.

Our day was filled with family.

At my parents my sister, mom, and I were served  brunch!

then we went home for a nap

Then we met Jerod's family for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day and Nina's birthday

We ended our evening with a walk,

Happy Mother's Day to all you WONDERFUL mother's!
