Mother’s Day was extra special this year, because we got to
celebrate Carter at Blessings of Our Babies at church. Carter was introduced and given a Bible
along with about ten other babies born in the last year. Then an elder prayed over all the families
with new babies. Granny Martha,
Granddaddy Charlie, Amma, Granddad and Uncle Justin went to church with us to
watch Carter’s special introduction.
Then we went back to our house for Mother’s Day lunch. We are never in Tennessee for a
holiday, so it was such an honor to prepare the meal for everyone, especially
for my Mom and Grandmother. Craig
grilled chicken and pork chops. I
made broccoli salad, strawberry pretzel salad, roasted potatoes, baked beans,
corn casserole and rolls. I was
pretty baked out from the Anniversary Party the weekend before (I made a cake
and 200 cookies), so I let Granny bring her chocolate chip pudding cake. After presents and cards, I took a
Mother’s Day nap and we finished the day with a family walk. The day was
perfect!
