Mother's Day 2012

Jared is still out of town, so I brought the girls to church by myself . They were so good until the last few minutes, then the last speaker went over time by 7 minutes! I wanted to stand up and say, "Finish already!" One of the RS counselors sent her 10yo girl up to sit with us when she saw that Avery was freaking out in my lap and I was holding Makenna back by her arm, trying to keep her from running out in the aisle. The little girl was so cute and read a book with Makenna, which worked like a charm; they were both good 'til it finally ended. So they were only hard to manage for maybe 2 minutes. Great Mother's Day present from them. :) 

For dinner, we went to Kiki's in-laws' house.  The girls had so much fun playing in the yard and with all of the kids there.

When I got home from church, these were on the front door step.  They were from Jared's boss, wishing me a happy Mother's Day and thanking me for letting him be out of town on that special day.  So thoughtful, especially that they were in LSU colors. :)  I love the big purple vase!

It would have been nice to have Jared home yesterday but it was still a great Mother's Day.  Looking forward to Jared returning home this weekend! :)
