Mother's Day 2013

What a wonderful Mother's Day I had yesterday!  I had the biggest smile on my face the whole day.  I truly feel so blessed to be a Mom.  Since the kids are so young, it's really Gordon who helped make my day so special.

Gordon woke up early with the girls, made me breakfast in bed where I opened a few cards and received a beautiful pair of shoes that I've had my eye on for the past year or two (see top left).  Then we went to church and enjoyed a great service with impactful sermon.  Afterwards the family went for lunch at our favorite bar & grill near the house.  Then I had some Mommy time with a massage and shopping.  What-a-great-day... WOW!  I loved every minute. :)

 

Montreal ~ annual girl's trip 2013

Another year, another wonderful Annual Girl's Trip weekend!  This year we went International to Montreal, Canada and oh, boy (or shall I say "eh")... it was amazing!

We kicked off our first night with FREE Gipsy Kings tickets with backstage passes AND danced on stage in front of 5,000 + people to "Bambaleo, Bambeleo".  It was amazing!!  Our vacation only got better from there with fabulous dinners and dancing, plus shopping (of course!).

I couldn't imagine having a better time with these four classy ladies.  No matter how much time and distance may keep us apart, I know they have my back.

Our Little Princesses

Last weekend, the girls were invited to a birthday party for a friend's daughter (Charlotte) who lives down the street.  Charlotte turned 3 years old and celebrated in style with a Princess Party with "real" princesses!  This was Kirsten's 2nd princess party and Alexa's 1st, both girls were so excited!  Saturday morning started off as usual with some breakfast and a few cartoons, but as soon as I said it was bath time, Kirsten and Alexa ran up stairs in preparation for their princess pampering!  While trying on princess dresses to see if we had one to fit Alexa, Kirsten proudly offered her favorite dress from her Godmother Tiffany.  Knowing she had worn this dress at her first princess party, Kirsten said "this is the dress Lexi should wear, it's from my Godmother Tiffany."  My heart filled with pride, I love my little ladies!
