mother's day.

it was quite an interesting mother's day this year. the girls came down with a nasty stomach flu on saturday night, so we spent the rest of the weekend cleaning up vomit and doing laundry. i will definitely remind them of this when they are older. just so they reeeeally appreciate their loving parents :)

so anyway, sick kids and stuff.

i also got quite spoiled by my husband and kids {ok, we all know the 2 year old and 6 month old didn't contribute...}. i got a lovely book, a pretty beaded belt, and season tickets to the utah opera {wooohooo!}. ok maybe i just spoiled myself and sean allowed it ?? sorry to rat you out, sean, but it's the truth :) WAIT. he did buy the tickets for me after i told him how many and what seats and whatnot.

so anyway, really nice presents and such.

and then we debated about it but ended up going to visit our moms with sick kids in tow. we gave my mom this recipe book which heather and i spent months working on. it turned out so well thanks to my dear sister, the amazing editor/formatter/designer. we compiled all of the favorite family recipes into one handy book. and i've already been using my copy. whipped up that yummy chicken chili the other day.

so to sum it up, i had a really nice mother's day. i hope our mothers did, too. sorry for getting you sick, mom! we just really wanted to visit on mother's day :)
