Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all of the wonderful moms I know!  While today is supposed to be a day of rest for those of us with little ones (no matter how old they are!), Mothers Day in the Thomas house is the prom "hangover".  This morning we celebrated with a house full of teenagers, eating lots of food and retelling the stories from the night before.  And I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I'll let you in on a little secret...I was in the other room for a minute while they were all enjoying breakfast and the noise coming from the kitchen stopped me in my tracks.  The laughter and giggles were perfect.  It's the sound you live for as a mom.  And it occurred to me that there was no greater present that to have happy children, today or any day.

So thank you to Laurel for the beautiful flowers.  Thank you to Hunter and Will for the flower, the amazing cards and the Hunger Game jammies and thank you to Jeff for the cool camera toy.  But mostly, thank you to EVERYONE that was here this morning reminding me what I love most about being a mom.
