Happy Mother's Day



































Tanner,
I can't tell you how many times I've prayed and thanked the Lord that He put you in my life. Before you were born no one could prepare me for the way I would instantaneously love you and how deep that love would be. In that one moment my life changed forever and I've never felt so blessed. I'm so thankful for the closeness of our relationship. I love when you give me chubby kisses. I love having our picnics. I love how you snuggle up in the mornings. I love your OCD. I love the way, even at 2, you've always got an encouraging word. I love how you dance. I love when you talk smack to your food. I love to touch bellies. I love to hold your toes. I love when you help me cook. I love when you help me at the grocery store. I love when you talk about Jesus. I love reading the Three Little Pigs. I love to fix you wolf eggs and beef. I love when you hide and say Happy Day!! I love to hold you when you sleep. I love your laugh and the way you giggle. I love when you want to rewind the Tivo. These things only scratch the surface of what I love about you. You're such a blessing to our family and you bring so much joy to me. I consider it such a privilege that God chose me to be your mom. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you and I just want you to know that my favorite part of every day is being your Mom!! I love you 2 more!!!
Love,
Mommy
