Happy Mother's Day!

May 8, 2011

Happy Mother's Day to all of you women out there! I'm so grateful for my mother who has taught me so much about life, about being a mother, and about choosing the right. I'm also grateful for my mother-in-law who is a wonderful example to me.

For Mother's Day this year, my family was wonderful! Jason and the children made the food during the day so I didn't have to prepare the food. They also helped with Leiohu (who normally takes up a lot of my time) so I kind of got a break. Yeah!

Here I am:

Jason made Seafood Paella for dinner. Mmm!

Jason and the children also made stuffed mushrooms for dinner. Double mmm!

Here's a pretty fruit salad of strawberries, mangoes, and apples:

At church, the Bishopric gave each woman a beautiful rose. I got pink!

Hokulani made a flower magnet at school with her picture on it:

Hokulani also gave me a ribbon & bead bookmark. I love it, because I'm always reading.

Jason and Anuhea gave me Bath & Body Works goodies. My favorite scent is Japanese Cherry Blossom. I got two kinds of lotion, body spray, shower gel, and a bath puff.

Anuhea chose these earrings for me. I don't usually wear earrings anymore, but since she gave these to me, I've started wearing earrings again on occasion.

Hokulani also made me a card. It's supposed to say "Happy Mother's Day", but she forgot "Day" on it. Oops! :)

(Inside of the card):

In Nalani's Language Arts class, she worked on poetry that she compiled for her gift to me. This is just the first few pages. I love it!

I love you, Mom!
