The cover - you can tell really he took his time and colored carefully.
A sample page. This really does look a lot like my "experimental" flower bed in the back of our house.
Check out Oprah's curly black hair
The rest of it read like this - each page had it's own illustration.
This is my mother
Her name is Chanda
She is 31 years old
She has black hair
She has blue eyes
My Mommy has two children
Mom likes to eat baked potatoes
For fun my mother likes to watch t.v.
When I was a baby, my mom took care of me
My mom helps me by making lunch for me
I love you.
It is definitely something I will keep and treasure always!!!!
My next gift was in a tiny bronze box with a bow. I opened it and inside were BEAUTIFUL diamond earrings. I have asked for princess cut diamond earrings for as long as I can remember, but have always just said "someday when we have more money" . . . I was thinking 25th wedding anniversary or some really big occasion like that, so I was completely shocked!
He went to Jared!
My kids make being a Mom SO worth it. People always comment on how well-behaved and sweet they are, and that is honestly the best compliment I could ever receive. Here I am with my "babies". Notice how I pulled my hair back to show off my new earrings!
The weather was beautiful and we spent the rest of the day shopping for flowers, vegetables and herbs for my garden. I got so many different and fun things year and I am really excited about it. I planted an entire "berry" garden, and Granny is giving me a few rows of her big garden where I will plant corn, onions, garlic, asparagus, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and cucumber. It will be so fun to make all my food this summer and fall with almost completely home-grown veggies and fruit.

How precious. Caden is such a good boy...and Damon too. The earrings are beautiful! I'm so glad you had such a wonderful day! I wish I could have been there with you but will look so forward to seeing you in a few days. I love you.
