Mother's Day at Granna's House

For Mother's Day, we went to Atlanta to see Granna and Big Clayton. Clayton had a new dress to wear to church that Sunday. We put it on, and she immediately started turning in circles and saying, "I'm a pin-ces" It was SOOO cute...and I wish I had been videoing it, but of course, I wasn't!!!
We attempted a TON of pictures after church on Sunday...our best hope was to get some outside!!! She was really tired because we had been to the early service which starts at 8:30...but we did the best we could to get some pictures!

While we were trying to get pictures of Clayton outside, she was busy getting all of the lava rock out of Granna's flowerbeds and stack them all up!!!

So tired!!!

Clayton picked out a cake for Granna and me! She loves purple, so this one caught her eye!

Yes, she was sticking her finger in it...why do you think she wanted to get a cake for us!!!

Here is Granna's card that Clayton is about to present to her!!

Very excited about delivering it!!!

Granna let Clayton help her open it!!!

Clayton loves "Shortcake" as she calls her, so we had to get this card for Granna!

Clayton giving me my gifts for Mother's Day!

I got a CareBears card...which loves "almost" as much as Shortcake!

Clayton and Mark got me a James Avery charm for my bracelet. It says "Best Mom" which is kind of a joke BECAUSE...this week Clayton decided that she wanted me to be "Mom" instead of "Mommy." It really bothered me! Mark couldn't understand why...but it is simply because that signifies that she is growing up!!! It made me SAD!!! Anyway, the charm will always help me remember that!!!

Of course, she had to put the bracelet on!!!

Sweet Mark made a little certificate on the computer to give me a free day off...he would do this any time I wanted without a certificate because he is an awesome husband and dad...but the certificate was cute!!!
