I hope you are all having a wonderful Mother's day!
I just returned from our little Mother's day get away and it was as wonderful as always except we did miss our regular cabin. I thought I would share a few photos with you.
My youngest daughter made these adorable cupcakes for us to take on our trip. Aren't they cute? They were just as yummy as they are cute! She loves to bake and has since she was little! The flower cups are her newest addition to her collection of bakeware. They are silicone flowers, so cute!
I found this fabulous vintage basket right before we left which was perfect to haul some of the craft kits in. I was in charge of crafts. :0) Isn't this basket fabulous?!
We did several different things, but I have only taken photos of a couple so far.
We made these little Mother's collages, they still need their "hangers" as I forgot the bead chain, but they were fun to do.
Love these cups from Anthropolgie I ordered for everyone!
This beautiful art is a gift from my oldest daughter! I love it sooo much. (my photo does not do it justice!)
And here's the beautiful ladies in my life, my Momma and my Grandma. (my aunt did not end up showing up this year)
I just have to take a moment to tell you how amazing my Momma is. When I was growing up, she was always a wonderful Mother. She has always encouraged me in every single thing I have attempted and she is truly my biggest fan. She is very much my best friend!
But not only did she raise my brother and I, but now in the time of her life that she should be traveling and living it up, life made a turn and she is now raising my niece and nephew. She also takes care of my Grandma and Grandpa as much as possible. She takes all of this in and stays so strong in her faith and handles it the very best she knows how. I don't even know how she does it. My niece and nephew exhaust me after only a weekend! She is such an amazing lady and I hope she knows just how very much I love her!
I hope you are all enjoying your day, no matter what you're doing!
Head on over to Analise's blog to view all of the ladies participating in Show & Tell, they're all talking about Mother's day this week, and check back with me tomorrow for next Sunday's theme.
Much love, Cerri xoxo
Cerri what lovely photos you have posted. Sounds like you all had a wonderful time together.
What a great woman your Mother is to take on the responsibilities she has. What a fine example she is setting for all the females in your family.
