Mother's Day

What a wonderful 1st Mother's Day that I had.  We left home a little after 8 am making our way to B's parents.  I wanted to leave around Vivy's naptime in hope she would sleep a little.  I knew she wouldn't have her afternoon nap...not that she always takes one.  It wasn't long before we were on the road before she was out.

Brody got himself comfy for his 2 hour car ride.

We arrived around 10:30 am. The 'Grands' were very happy to see her!  She was happy to see them.  We hung around the house for a little while before heading over to B's sister's house to see Vivy's first cousins.  ML loves her Vivian!

Vivian did surprisingly well all day.  I figured she would be a little fussy since she wasn't at home.  She did get lots of attention, naturally.  

 

B's Mom made BBQ, potato salad, baked beans and green beans.  Vivy loved the green beans! We had a strawberry shortcake cake and a strawberry ice cream cake for dessert.  They both were delicious!  His Mom is a wonderful cook :) 

Vivian went down easily at bedtime.  Thank goodness!  She slept until 5:20 am and then went back to sleep a little after 6:30 am.  She slept until 8:10 am in the bed with Mommy and Daddy. I loved being cuddled next to her.  It was the perfect Mother's Day morning.

We had Belgium waffles for breakfast.  Vivian played and we took a couple of pictures.

Making her smile :)

 

We headed back to home around 1 pm so Vivian would sleep.  She was getting restless.

Thank goodness she slept the entire way home.  She was happy to be home.

I opened my cards and gift.  Brody was kind enough to give me a card also.  He wanted to show that he still loves me even though the poor little guy doesn't get all my attention.

Vivian and Daddy each gave me a card and Vivy...aka, Daddy...got me a gift certificate for a massage, facial, mani and pedi.  Can't wait to relax!!!

I had an absolute perfect first Mother's Day.  I am so incredibly thankful that God chose me to be Vivian's Mother.  She is the greatest gift of all!!!
