Mother's Day

 We started mother's day with a surprise visit to my mom.  I love surprising people . . . and the only thing better than surprising Grandma would be for all of us to wear Grandma masks . . . right?  We got a good laugh when we put them on.  Even the adults were good sports about being Bev.  Who wouldn't?

Waiting for the outcome -- you just never know what reaction you might get.

 Well, it turned out to be more of a laugh so hard quietly that you cry reaction.  Much different than Aaron's anticipated screaming reaction :)  Like I said . . . she's like a box of chocolates.

We had some printout masks that were more the size of a giant freak head.  So Jeff and Aaron quickly decorated mom's house with them.  One of my favorite spots being on the ceiling over her bed.  Sweet dreams :)  Here's one on the front door.

Later that night Aaron went to the store with the kids to get me a present from them.  I said it was fine as long as he brought me back some gummies.  Well, this wasn't exactly what I was expecting!!
I was so baffled, I had to just laugh and see if he was really serious.  I mean really.  When in our 10 years of marriage have I ever encouraged or been pleased to see a small serving size of candy?  Words could not express my shagrin, so I took a picture.

The next day I found out why he was controlling my portion size :)  Aaron and the kids had filled A LOT of eggs full of candy and hid them around the kitchen for me to find.  It was a great present.  Although letting me sleep in was a priceless gift!!!  They did an amazing job of making my day great.

Shout out to my wonderful moms!
