"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new and beautiful."

Today I celebrated my very first Mother's Day- and for the first time I celebrated from the "other side." Being a Mother is something I celebrate every single day. Every moment Hannah smiles at me, every time she tackles me with a sloppy kiss, or each new milestone she reaches - I celebrate the honor that it is, to be Hannah's mother. Today was no different it was just formally recognized. We had an entire day of activities planned, starting with church and ending with carnival games.

We headed to the Mall of America to dine at Tucci Benucch. Then our plans continued to the new "Sea Life Aquarium" (Formerly known as "Underwater World"). I am not sure if Hannah or her Uncle Brad enjoyed it more.....Finally, it was all topped off with Dad and Justin competing in some random carnival game. (Nobody won. Go figure.) Oh boys and their competition... Enjoy some photos from our day:
My Dearest Hannah,
You make being your mother easy. I never imagined loving something so small, so very much. Thank you for being the most beautiful daughter, I love you so much!
To all the other Mothers out there- it's good to be "on the other side." I hope you had a wonderful Mother's day.
