Mother's Day

 I hate to spoil this for everybody else, but I have some of the best kids around. They were all so eager to give me my handmade Mother's Day projects they had been working on the last week. Zander was excited to make me breakfast in bed, but I ended up getting up early to do my hair and get ready for church so I had breakfast waiting for me. Lucas made me a coaster with a picture of us on it that he drew, Zander made me a mirror and wrote down some of the things he loves most about me, Hannah drew me a beautiful picture of us and a rainbow, and Grayson was just excited to be there on the bed with everyone else. He really wanted to eat my breakfast. 

There is no better breakfast than a tall glass of water, a banana with honey, crackers, and Hannah's touch--a fruit snack. I love my kids!

Later that evening we had dinner with the family at Rachel's house. There was SO much food; it was more like a feast, haha! That's actually how all our Washburn gatherings are. Stephen and his siblings brought dishes from their childhoods that they either really loved or remember their mother making for them. There was lime jello with pears and carrots in it, Stephen made Tres Leches Cake, but the one that intrigued me was Loren's. He made orange jello with red hots melted into it mixed with applesauce. It was actually really good. Then the siblings took turns telling stories from their childhood. Those never get old; its always fun the hear these stories because we usually end up laughing our heads off.
