My Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day.
My sweet hubby surprised me with a card and gift certificate to a SPA.
Woohoo...a S.P.A.  !!!
OK--I've never been to one, so what do you all suggest?  I'm thinking a massage... or maybe a facial and manicure?  Help--I can't decide!

The kids--thanks to their wonderful teachers--had made coffee mugs that they decorated.  Oh my goodness, they are so cute!  I will enjoy them for many years.  

They also made cards that were adorable.
We went out to lunch after church and then headed out to the deck to relax.  Perfect!

Then it was time for Mommy to get pampered.

First, some kisses.
Note the corsage from Jeff.

{Thank you, Jillian, for taking all these pictures.}

 Then, I got my hair done.  Thank you, Katie!


Then it was time for a message.


 Next on the agenda was a manicure.

Jake decided I needed a foot bath.  Jillian gave him the idea.  He said he was being like Jesus...washing His followers feet.  I was a bit dumbfounded--but Jake said he saw it on our Jesus video.  So cute.
He added his own feet which I'm thinking was only to show the world how bad I need a tan.  Sigh.  

Here is my new cup collection!

I am so thankful to be a mom.  There were many years when I wondered if I would ever get to be one. 
God was smiling.
Because He knew what was coming.
Ha.
