We started Mothers Day with going to the same ward ALL together......the Tongan ward that my family attends. We only took up 2 middle rows (ha ha) - I can't believe how big our family is getting.
Then we went to my parents house where Dad had already made an umu (cooking underground).....of course I was assigned potato salad (ha ha ha). It was a DE-licious meal!

Time for presents! We got Mom a new wallet (with pictures of the family in it).....& her favorite candy (sugar-free of course).
We ended our wonderful meal with a yummy dessert provided by Lesley & Dennis. This was taken just after Ake ALMOST dropped the cheesecake upside down (ha ha).
Andy usually gets me flowers to plant, but since we live in HOT Arizona now & we only have rocks & bushes in the front yard, he decided to get me a hibiscus plant - my FAVORITE flower. Its been so fun to see it bloom - Lana & I look forward to checking on it every day. Thank you honey!
I am so grateful for my beautiful Mom - I feel like I'm closer to her now than I was when I was a teenager. It is so wonderful being able to see her whenever I want to - she is a great example to me & I love her SO much.
