Happy Mothers Day

Last Sunday was the best mothers day ever. It is true that Brett has taken good care of me on every past mothers day we've shared but this one was especially great. I woke up with Brett and Emmeline bringing me breakfast (mango/pineapple smoothie and strawberry toast) in bed. Then Emmeline gave me a big hug and said, "Happy Mothers Day Mom!!" She continued to give me the message throughout the entire day. That made it the greatest mothers day of all. Brett did continue to spoil me and I ended up with a movie I've been wanting and a pre-order for the book Breaking Dawn which comes out in August. Thank you Brett, Emmeline and Mabel for the best mothers day ever.
Here is a picture of the hand/flower craft we made in primary. Each flower is made from a handprint. Each finger has been rolled with a pencil to give it the petal effect. This particular bouquet has handprints from Mabel, Emmeline and me (I had the girls help me make a sample to take to church so the kids had a visual example of what we were doing.) It turned out to be a lot of fun to make. It was really fun to watch the kids and see how creative they were with their flowers. It just added to my really great mothers day. If any of you are looking for an easy, young children craft--this one was super great!
