Happy Mother's Day by Denny Lynn

Mother's Day is a very special day! John and I always want to recognize the special grandmas in our life. This year we made special cards. First we traced our hands...

Then we cut them out (or Mama cut them out - it was kind of hard).

We ended up with two hands and a heart! Mine are the blue ones and John's are green.

John supervised while having animal crackers.

I signed my name on each one. Mama added some pictures of us and put them in an envelope.

Then we put them in the mailbox to go to everyone. We have another special surprise for them all when we see them, too!

On Mother's Day (Sunday) we took Mama to Cracker Barrel for lunch after church.

We made her a big card and coffee filter flowers in Sunday School. Then, we picked out a card with Daddy and we each signed our names.

We got Mama all kinds of cool stuff, starting with a cricut, but she got that early! We also picked out pretty sunglasses for her. I picked out awesome blue ones and John found rainbow ones, then Mama helped us re-evaluate our choice and we ended up with one pair of green and one pair of pink.

We also got her flashing clover earrings. We planted flowers for her and made picture frames at Darcy's house. We had a really fun Mother's Day, complete with a family ride down the river. I hope Mama enjoyed it - I know she was happy to spend the day with us!
