Abby set her alarm and got herself up at 7:00 AM to cook breakfast for me. She made me homemade Fried Cinnamon Apples and toast, accompanied by a bowl of Cheerios and a glass of water and orange juice. She brought everything up to me to enjoy in bed. Let me just say that she could give Paula Deen a run for her money! It was DE-LISH! Then, to top it all off, she gave me the sweetest note she'd typed on the computer. Abby has always had such a way with words and her note was certainly no exception. It brought tears to my eyes. Read it for yourself...
After I finished breakfast, I went downstairs to read the paper. Brittany had left a beautiful bouquet of roses sitting on the kitchen table, along with a giant Hershey's bar! Her prom was on Saturday night and when she came back home for a few mins. to change clothes after it was over, she put them on the table so I'd be surprised the next morning. Aren't they pretty?
We all went out to a local park later in the afternoon for a picnic lunch and a nice, long walk in the warm sunshine. My husband and girls always know exactly what to do to make me feel loved and appreciated. I am so THANKFUL to have them in my life!

Awwww... YOU are the reason they're so sweet, April! They had the best role model ever, and it's already paying off. I hear so many stories of moms and daughters who fight horribly during the teen years; I know every moment isn't sunshine and roses at your house, but it seems as if more are than not! You are amazing... :<)
