Mothers Day, May 8,2011

We had the most wonderful day on Sunday. Got up early, made an asian slaw salad and fruit plate. Katherine made her famous lemon bars. FIRST gift of the day....driving to San Diego to attend Megan and Owen's ward, the San Diego 10th ward where Owen blessed Bennett. After sacrament meeting, we went to Megan's to have a yummy dinner with Owen's family as well. Pulled pork sandwiches, strawberry spinach salad, asian slaw, assorted fruits, and lemon bars. It was delish! So much fun to hold that precious baby on Mothers Day! Megan hand crafted a grey felt flower pin for Laurie and I. Really cute. I loved it.

The SECOND best gift of the day was being able to SKYPE with Hillary! It was so great to SEE her face, and cute little body. She looked absolutely radiant. She is very happy being a missionary and serving the Lord in Chile. She was freezing while speaking to us from a room inside the church where the computer was. Winter is approaching there, and she didn't have a coat on. She was able to catch us up to date on her days as a missionary, her investigators, companions, favorite foods, acitivites, all her joys. She had no complaints or needs. We caught her up to date on our family's activities, as well. She was able to see Bennett for the first time. Tia Hillary ! (Tia is 'aunt' in Spanish). So tender.

LOVED being with my whole family for a short while on Mothers Day. So grateful to be a mom and grandma.
