My 1st Mother's Day

Before deciding we were "ready" to have a baby, we used to begin our Mother's Day and Father's Day by saying, "Happy you're not a mother/father day!" This year was quite a change from that routine as I was excited to be celebrating Mother's Day as a mom. When Jeremy picked Luke up from school on Friday, they handed him a wrapped gift the little ones had made for their moms. Even though I could see through the tissue wrapping, I tried not to look too closely so that I could open Luke's gift on Sunday.

My 1st Mother's Day gift from baby Luke.

Precious little hand print!

I tried to get a cute picture of Luke holding his gift, but he was more interested in eating it!

Yum! Yum!

We enjoyed hosting our families for Mother's Day lunch this year. We made fajitas and hung out at home. Mr. Luke was a trooper and stayed awake most of the time everyone was here. He didn't want to miss anything! 

Sweet little man!

Not only did Luke's school do a great job of creating a sweet gift for me, Jeremy did a great job with his gift, too. While I was out being pampered on Saturday (thank you to my in-laws for the gift certificate for a facial and pedicure), Jeremy made signs using my Cricut that said Happy Mother's Day and then took pictures of Luke holding the signs and put them in a frame. What a perfect gift! I was definitely impressed with his Cricut usage without me there! He also bought a sweet board book for me to read with Luke called Two to Cuddle and stuck 6 free car wash coupons in random spots inside the book. He knows that I love to have a clean car and rarely take the time to go do it. Now I have no excuse! 

Can I eat this?

Cheese!

How can you not smile at this sweet face?

I am so blessed to have such a sweet baby! I love his little personality and the joy that he brings to everyone. I am definitely happy that this year I was greeted with "Happy Mother's Day!" and can't wait for this little guy to be able to say those words to me.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom and my mother-in-law. I am lucky to have two wonderful ladies to help me through this journey of motherhood!
