Scenes from Mother's Day

My dad is having open heart surgery today, so please say a prayer for him. We are spending today and tomorrow at the hospital, so I thought I'd go ahead and share a few scenes from our Mother's Day weekend. It was a difficult day for me personally, but still an absolutely beautiful day because I love to celebrate my mommy. There's just something so nice about making your mom feel special. 

This is my grandma's yard...amazing, right?!



BBQ for lunch. 

My sister and I. 


Red velvet cupcakes. 

Dress: Kohl's / Cardigan: TJ Maxx / Necklace: Kohl's

All in all it was a great day spent with family. That's what makes days really special.
