The day before Mother's day, we decided to visit all the Mom's in our lives. We started with a visit to Glenn's mom Sharen.
Emma had prepared for Mother's Day by making beaded bracelets for Grandma Sharen, Grandma Sally and Birth Mother Kristen. Here you can see Grandma Sharen wearing her blue bracelet.
Whenever we visit Grandma Sharen, Emma runs into her bedroom and brings out this stuffed cat. She loves to dance around with the cat and run around the room. Emma sang a song for Grandma with me, and gave her a kiss on the cheek (above). Sharen was having a good day, so it was a pleasure to visit her this day.
After visiting Sharen, we drove to Sherwood to drop off a gift to Birth Mother Kristen at work. Today is National Birth Mother's Day, and Kristen was working, so we had to make it work. It was a quick visit, and Emma was getting tired as it was nap time, but good to see Kristen all the same. She had to get back to her client who was in the chair, so we left after a few minutes.
Then it was on to Milwaukie to visit Grandma Sally and Grandpa. Grandma's bracelet was green, and a little too big, but Grandma loves it all the same. Emma watched over all the present opening, and was all tired and cuddly, until the next visitors arrived. We had not planned it, but my brother Joe and his family arrived while we were there, so we had a good visit. It was also great to see my Sister-in-law and which her a happy Mother's Day in person.
Emma was all excited as this gave her a chance to play with Pirate Cousin and Army Man. She loves her cousins so much, and they had a great time.
As we were all together, and we were all getting hungry for dinner, we decided to all head to Sweet Tomato's together for dinner. The boys were so cute, and wanted to eat with Emma sitting between them. Emma was in heaven.
Mother's Day for me has become more work, but it is all worth it when we have such a good day, and get to see all the women whom we love so much. Now to start figuring out Father's Day! :)
