Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!  
Today was a great Mother's Day for me!  I was able to spend it with my 3 favorite kiddos, 2 great Mom's, remembering the first little girl who made me a "mother" to begin with and a husband who has helped me through it all.  Am I blessed or what?!?!
 Briana would be almost 6 1/2 right now







Grant 5 1/2, Alayna 4, Landon 20 mos 

 Alayna LOVES Great Grandma and insisted we get her the "perfect" Mother's Day gift this year.  I'm not sure I succeeded on that end, but it was so cute to see her excitement picking something out at the store.  She carried it up to pay, carried the bag, wrapped it so carefully and made the below little card.  All it said was "Dear Grandma Schmidt"  with "Alayna" on the back side.  I wrote it for her on a separate piece of paper so she could write it on her card herself.  You can see she scribbled it out a few times trying to get it perfect!  One of the biggest reasons Alayna feels a special connection to Great Grandma is because she gave me the white blankie Alayna always uses as a shower gift.  She can't thank Grandma enough for that blanket.    :)  Aren't they adorable?
