Saturday--
TEAM PINK WON! THEY'RE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!!!! Paisley Claire will make her debut [approx] 10.15.13
All of us ladies were soooo happy! Glad I wore pink! We also got to see their gender reveal pictures and they were perfect! A lot of time and effort was put into the party planning, and I really enjoyed playing the games, and watching her open her gifts! She'll be a wonderful mommy!

Today--
My Mothers Day was relaxed. Christopher and I played outside for a little bit, I tanned, read my book, and watched Chris as he cleaned out our deep freezer. My mother was with me in spirit as I cried. Cried for losing my mom, and cried because I'll also be losing my aunt to cancer. (she is no longer responding).
Kevin and Esther got me a pretty cute card with some cash inside to do whatever I want to with, and Chris made me a card (I have yet to see it).
I made Esther a couple of things and luckily I have pictures, so I can show you down below!
Esther's Mother Day Card made by yours truly! Thank goodness for Cricut Machines!
Inside the envelope we put a Mounds Bar and a Hershey's Bar (She doesn't care for Mounds) and the envelope is taped to a Mountain Dew bottle. I found this on Pinterest and thought it was the cutest thing! It says "Mounds of Thanks 4 all u Dew"
This is from Christopher to Esther. I still have yet to put it in a frame.
So today has been bittersweet so to say. But everything will heal with time, and although it hurts to no longer have my mother around, and to find out that I am losing another relative to cancer, I consider myself blessed. I am blessed to have the family that I have. To have the love that I have.
Happy Mothers Day!

Hi there :) I removed the link bc I didn't want people to think I was spamming.
ReplyDeleteOk! :) Well welcome aboard! and thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the "Gender Reveal" party was a blast! That's really neat that she waited to tell everyone together. Awww. It's a girl! How precious!
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned before, you are very talented at your scrapbooking and card-making! Yeah, Cricuts look like they come in handy when you're into craft making almost full-time like that. If I get more into craft making, I'll consider getting one. :)
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
