Mommy's Day!

"Happy Mother's Day, Mommy," said Elena.

"It's my day?" said Mommy.

"No, it's MY day," said Elena.

"Oh," said Mommy. "Thanks for the well wishes then." :)

Truthfully, it was a very nice day with breakfast in bed from Daddy and a wonderful surprise party for auntie MaryAnn's 60th birthday (The whole family surprised her with a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' as she, Annie and Don kayaked to the shore at Negro Bar in Folsom. A picnic party was waiting for her just a little farther in the park.). We think we surprised the heck out of her and Elena couldn't have loved that more. Anything that involves "Happy birt-day cake" is cool in her book.

Here are a few cute photos of late and one of Elena making MaryAnn's card. She loves to make special presents.

She is certainly my special present.
