Mom's Birthday

Sunday, Michael + Bekah came down and we celebrated mom's birthday. It was already planned that we would have spaghetti, salad, broccolli, and bread. Well, dad forgot to get the salad stuff + we didn't make the broccolli...so it ended up that we had spaghetti + bread. It was yummy! We had a fabulous evening!

Bekah has been working on this blanket for mom for a while now, and she finally finished (I'm so proud of you pineapple) AND she printed out this awesome photo of the DC Temple and a quote from President Hinckley and framed it...it was so nice! As for our gift...well, mom collects Willow Trees and we got her one that she didn't have yet (she pretty much has all of them). Turns out, I got her the wrong one. Does that surprise you? probably not. I knew it wasn't the right one when I bought it (she wanted the one that Michael got me one year for my birthday) but she had seen it at this store and told me where to get it, and that's all they had!?! Lame, I know!

On a more positive note, the carrot cake that dad made was delish and the kids enjoyed some warm chocolate chip cookies. What better way to end the evening, huh? Love to all, Kim

Here's to you mom:

"The Name of Mother"

The holiest words my tongue can frame,

The noblest thought my soul can claim,

Unworthy are to praise the name

More precious than all other.

An infant, when her love first came,

A man, I find it still the same,

Reverently I breathe her name,

The blessed name of mother

by George Griffith Fether

Make a wish!

I got her the Brother and Sister

I should've gotten her the Sister and Brother (woops)

This is a picture of the one I should've gotten her :-)
