An Extra Special Mother's Day

There was more reason to celebrate this Mother's Day as we welcomed our daughter, Summer, last Sunday, May 5th. One week old today! I am so grateful to have two beautiful daughters and to now have a family of four. We started our day with a special breakfast prepared by my hubby, then an hour at the playground with a picnic. Ellie was so excited for the "nic nic" (picnic). It was too cute! The girls napped for over two hours, which gave me time for a nap, too. We had dinner at my parents with extended family and Summer met her cousins for the first time. I told my husband not to spend any money on me this year (usually it's a gift card to my favorite spa). After a tough recovery last week (more on that in another post) all I wanted was to spend time with my family and the people I care about the most.

Here is a recap of my Mother's day in photos:

Ellie is a little more interested in her string cheese than a picture :)

With my Mom, my amazing role model!
