Bug's Birthday a.k.a. Mother's Day

I had to share Mother's Day with Bug this year, which was completely fine with me!  Although I'd love a day to myself in my room, meals delivered, while I curl up and catch up on all my favorite trashy reality shows, the reality is that with 3 kids you never really get a break.  I did get breakfast in bed, which the girls loved doing for me.  Then we went downstairs for gifts - for Addy and me both.

Here she is ready to open gifts!
What did she get?  A bike seat, so we can do family bike rides again.  Woohoo!
Mommy's turn - an apron made by Chandler at school and Brooklynn's magnet she made.  I love they can make me gifts now, and they're so proud of them.  And my other gift - tickets to NKOTB this summer.  Can't wait to see my boys!

Then we packed up a picnic lunch, got on the bikes, and headed out for a ride around Eastlake with a stop at the playground.  A family bike ride was all I really wanted to do on Mother's Day.  There are some things I really miss being able to do pre-kids, and bike-riding is one of them.  Thank God for trailers and bike seats, so we can still go together!

A perfect birthday/Mother's Day for sure!  I feel so blessed to be able to be the mommy of these 3 amazing girls.  Although it's a tough job, I wouldn't have it any other way.
