Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!
This year we invited my family to Jackson to celebrate Mother's Day. Dad, Mom, and Grandma arrived Saturday afternoon. We visited for a little while before meeting Craig's parents and Granny for dinner. Then, we came back to the house for dessert and for a game of Ticket to Ride. Mom won her very first game, and she was very excited!! Today, we went to church at Campbell Street and then came home for lunch. I told Mom and Grandma that I would cook for them. Mom did make the rolls and help with some last minute preparations, but other than that, I think they enjoyed not cooking for once. They are both wonderful cooks, so I hope to follow in their footsteps (not only in cooking but in the way they live, too). We had a great visit, and we were so thankful they chose to spend Mother's Day with the favorite child!! (ha! ha!)the table decor

Craig and I are blessed with wonderful Moms and Grandmas who have influenced our lives in many ways. We are who we are due to their love, support, encouragement, and faithful examples. Thank you for your servant hearts and for always putting your families first. Our lives are richly blessed because of you!! We hope you have enjoyed Mother's Day. More than anything, we hope you realize how much we appreciate you, not only today, but every day of the year. We love you so much! May God continue to use you to bless the lives of others!!

"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
Proverbs 31:29-30

  1. Loved the pix...and the weekend. You did an awesome job with the meal. Everything looked beautiful and it was delicious! And thanks to Craig for his help, too. You ARE following in the family tradition...but it works both ways. Dad and Adam would say that I am like YOU...at least in my reaction after winning at Ticket to Ride (refusing to play again). lol
    Love you!
