Since Julie and Jace were going to leave for Oregon on Saturday afternoon, we decided to celebrate Mother's Day on Friday evening. We played outside for awhile with the grandkids since the weather was so incredibly beautiful. It truly felt like a spring day in Vegas; go figure! Once Steve had the dutch oven chicken dinner ready along with the girls assistance, we had a fabulous meal together. After we ate, Julie had two games for us to play. One was a word scramble game in which all of the words had to do with mother's day. Then we played another game which had 20 questions all about "How Well Do You Know Mom." Since I was supposed to prepare the "key," I felt somewhat surprised that I didn't exactly know the answer to some of the questions. How funny is that? What is my favorite color anyway and what is my favorite restaurant???? After the games I opened a number of cards and gifts. Everyone joined together in giving Steve and me tickets to go to the Donny and Marie show at the Flamingo Hotel on Saturday evening. I am so excited. In fact, I need to get ready now. It's been something I've really wanted to do for some time, but I never thought we should spend the money. So, thanks to all of my girls and their husbands for providing a "dream date." On Saturday morning Julie and I were able to spend a little mom and daughter time. We enjoyed making cards. Life doesn't get any better than that.

It was such a fun Mother's Day celebration all devoted to the best mother I could ever ask for. Thanks for all the fun times the last two weeks! Jace already misses his Grandma GG!
How fun to have Julie and Natalie celebrate Mother's Day together with you. You are a wonderful, tender mother and you can see your good example in the type of mothers your own daughter's have become. Love you! Happpy Mother's Day.
