Moms Are the BEST! (and Grandma's too!)

'
I received a package in the mail the other day, addressed to me, from my Dad, and written by my Dad. I thought "Hmmm, that's odd! He always sends those truck magazines and quarters directly addressed to the BOYS, not me!" I wondered what my Dad could possibly be sending ME?! (Don't get me wrong, Dad, I love the truck mags, and I know you'd send me anything, anyday!) I opened it up - and in it was this adorable Thanksgiving book for the kids - and all of our ornaments from my Mom for 2008. Mine is this star (I love stars) but if you look closely, it is also an angel (my Mom collects angels) - so really cool and thoughtful ornament from my Mom, yet again, 28 years later. Konnor's is a soccer ball snowman, b/c of course, Konnor loves snow and soccer. Hunter's, yes, look closely, my Mother found a bowling ornament! I was so thrilled and excited for Hunter to see this one (he was even more thrilled to hang it)! And Quinn's is this cute little snowman - just like Quinn. Easy going - and cute. How do Mom's do this? Every year she finds one that suits us all perfectly, and each year is way different from the previous year.

Thanks, Mom! I am so lucky to have you! You are at the top of my list of "to be thankful" for - Mom and Grandma! I can only hope that someday I will be as awesome as you.

Moms truly are the best. Nothing and no one can compare to the unconditional love of a mother.
