A sweet and salty Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day that started and with Anna & Abby crawling into my bed to wake me up. (I know sleeping in until exactly when I want might sound better to some people, but it is HUGE that they were actually up before me.) Abby put both hands on my cheeks, put her face right next to mine and said, "It's your Mother's Day, Mommy!" in her cute little 2 year old voice. Then Anna reminded me that it was actually also her and Abby's Mother's Day as well since she is a Mommy to Anyb (pronounced "Abid," but this is how Anna spells it) and Abby is a Mommy to Julia (both baby dolls).

Besides getting to spend Mother's Day with my sweet little girls and my sweet husband it was sweet with strawberry shortcake :) On Saturday we went strawberry picking. Anna & Abby were excited to put together their sweet treat after dinner:

For Mother's Day Anna gave me a cookbook that she put together at school consisting of all the recipes that she made with her class this year. Today she requested that we try making the homemade pretzels. We did and they were great!

Last weekend we were busy as we had 2 friends birthday parties to go to, Matt raced in a 5K (he got 3rd place for his age group!), and we went to Burke Lake park:

Go Daddy!

 All aboard!
