Mother's day gifts 2010 & Blue Monday

I have a secret...well, probably a lot of you know it already, but I LOVE presents. I love to give presents and I LOVE to receive presents. I know....that might shock some of you, but just being honest here. And
I love holidays. Christmas is my absolute fav, followed by Valentine's day...and then mother's day!
Our pastor spoke on Hannah Sunday and so many years I felt like Hannah. My hubs and I wanted children so badly and had four times precious children born to us, but they did not live long. Finally, I became a mother here on earth about 2 weeks before mother's day. I was thrilled....beyond the moon. Then a couple years later, our daughter made our little family complete. So, that is one of the reasons I love mother's day soooo much! I also want to mention that I enjoyed this Sunday's message also because it was the passage of scripture we used on our son's birth announcements!! Ok, getting off on a tangent here....

What was I talking about?? oh yes...PRESENTS
from Hubby....a tanzanite buckle ring....I have always loved this style. And yes, for those of you thinking....did he pick that out without her?? he did! I was totally surprised.
and also this precious necklace.,...it is so pretty. It is like hammered silver with the rose and then the tiny pearls on the chain...and for any of you over 50, who will totally understand this...the greatest latch in the world. I can totally put it on myself!!

My family all went to Abuelo's for lunch and my daughter and I got to have anything we wanted plus dessert! Then handsome son had that puppy dog look, like I can't have one??? so, of course, dad gave in and we all enjoyed Dulce de leche cheesecake...yum.....

My daughter gave me this beautiful pitcher with the ivy. I thought it might have been one she found and planted herself because I think it has an antique quality, but she said she found it like that and KNEW I would love it! And I do!!

My sweetest grandbabies made me this stepping stone. I think it was fashioned after a My Little Pony! I think it is sooooo sweet. I am going to give it some shellac before it goes on the patio. Little hands making gifts for grandma...I just cherish it! Oh, how I love my grandchildren. I am such a grandma too.....they really can not do much wrong in my eyes!! Now, don't correct me...cuz I rather not hear it!!!!

I have one more gift coming. I get to find a picture frame for my Bentley boy. I have been looking, but haven't found just what I want yet....he is mama's boy for sure....

I hope you all had a wonderful mother's day! And to those who had a difficult day because you no longer have your mom or child....I thought of you. I know. And those who want to be a mom, but aren't yet...I know. And those who have children, but you don't hear from them...I know. And I care.

If you are still with me...thank you....I am finally getting over this bug and I am full of talk that has been building up!!! Just imagine what my poor hubby has been going through!

Added: Ok, I saw this on BNOTP and thought I gotta try this....so here is my offering of Blue Light sky. Let me just say, this isn't as easy as it looks. You cannot shake a bit!

I had to look up what time at dusk to take this picture. Can you guess what it is? I am linking up to Sally for Blue Monday.
