All in all, I had a great day! We had Audrey dedicated at church, which was really special. But when celebrating such an event, family must be invited. I am not always in the mood to be with family, especially dh's, but it's just one day, right?

We had a lovely service, Audrey did so well, and everyone who said they'd be there actually arrived in time. Wow!

We invited everyone over for dinner afterward, and ordered pizza and chicken. We had more than enough food, barely enough to drink, and not enough seating. But people seemed to enjoy themselves. It was a gorgeous day, and we got lots of family pics outside. Plus, all of the kids got to run around out there and burn off energy.

Audrey received two picture frames that are just adorable, money, a gift card, a book, and a silver comb and brush set. MIL is also making her a quilt, but she hasn't completed it yet. She'd done the same for Isaac's dedication.

As the ILs were leaving, though, dh asked an innocuous question. He needs to remember not to ask his sister anything, because she will find a way to make it all about her and start drama. So dh and his family stood on my front porch arguing for about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, my family is sitting inside feeling very uncomfortable and trapped. No one wanted to walk into that on their way home, and so were waiting for the situation to calm down. What a lovely end to our party.

Finally, they all left, and dh had our talk about his involvement. While I agree with his arguments, I was livid that he partook in said incident. I wasn't feeling very honored on Mother's Day.

Anyway, after that was smoothed over, dh gave me my card and gift. I received a gc for a massage! I cannot wait to use it. I'd really actually like to get a couple's massage, but this will work! Ds made me a cute necklace at church, which I wore proudly much of the day.

This is the only day that is ever all about me, and I really enjoyed it.
