What a great day! I really love Mother’s Day, maybe even more than my birthday. It’s always a great excuse to take family pictures (a legal form of child abuse, if you ask Carter).

I definitely love all the presents. Especially the handmade ones…

and the chocolate ones…

and the photo ones!

But my favorite part of Mother’s Day is reading the surveys that the kids filled out in primary — they’re always so insightful!

“This is my mom. Her name is Kim, but daddy calls her Kim.
She is 35 years old and she is as pretty as a flower.
My mom is the best at making chocolate chip muffins.
She really loves me and Carter.
If I had a TON of money I would buy her godiva chocolate.
If my mom was an animal, she would be a bee.
When mom was a little girl, she used to watch tv.
My mom is scared of fire.
My mom looks funny when she is confused.
Something my mom always says to me is Hello.
I wouldn’t trade her for all the rocks sadness in the world.
Love Raine”

“This is my mom. Her name is Kim, but daddy calls her Kim.
She is 1 years old and she is as pretty as a flower.
My mom is the best at making pizza.
She really loves yellow and red.
If I had a TON of money I would buy her a dress.
If my mom was an animal, she would be a peacock.
When mom was a little girl, she used to climb trees.
My mom is scared of snakes.
My mom looks funny when she has no make up.
Something my mom always says to me is clean your face.
I wouldn’t trade her for all the chocolate in the world.
Love Carter D.”
