May 12 in 12-or Mother's Day

My little folk "waking" me up together.

Mmm, breakfast-bonus: helpers setting the table.

It's a homemade gift-train :)

From Maddie: a fingerprint flower tea towel

From Eme: a painted tin with paper flower and a cute card/letter

From Davin: a funny "book" he put together
(my favorite: Mom if you were a color, you'd be orange because you're awesome)

From Aidan: an origami Princess Leah

After church-looking good (mostly)

Sunday afternoon at Eric's parents' house, getting ready for dinner

The girls are checking on the progress of the grilling,

while the boys found some cousins to play with upstairs.

The final countdown to dinner, come and get it!

(this was also the last big family dinner before Eric's dad passed away just a few weeks later, I'm glad we were all there, and that I've got this last picture of our "typical" get togethers with him in it)

What a great day in pictures! So great to enjoy the fun of family over Mother's Day. And what a wonderful and now especially poignant picture #12, with Eric's dad just candidly in the family mix. We love all of you!
