Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a fun but busy day. After going to church, everyone in my family gathered at my house - my mom and dad, gram, sister & niece, and brother & girlfriend. My brother coming was a total surprise to everyone except James and I - we had known about it for a week. Needless to say, Mom was thrilled to see him. James and the kids got me a beautiful mother's bracelet in sterling silver with the kids' birthstones in it. Very very nice! My mom made me one of her domino necklaces and got me a pretty pink geranium. My gram got me a nice apple candle. We had lots of fun before dinner playing in the backyard with the kids, and tossing the plastic ball for the kids to hit with their bats. Even Gretchen got in on that! Daniel was actually connecting on a few swings, but Austin was more content to play with his police car. But we all had a good time!
