mom's the word

How do we love our mothers? Let us count the ways.

First up, Mom Hallstrom. We love:
1. How she absolutely adores her family.
2. Her love of the gospel.
3. Her engaging storytelling.
4. Her infectious love of birthdays.
5. That she understands everything.
6. That she still loves holding my hand.
7. That she loves and finds success at TJ Maxx, despite the fact that it's totally cluttered and overwhelming!
8. That she's an incredible scriptorian.
9. That everyone who meets her wants to be her friend.
10. Her ability to make everything beautiful.

Next is Mom Stewart. We love:
1. How she absolutely adores her family.
2. Her love of the gospel.
3. Her sage wisdom.
4. Her stellar sense of humor.
5. That she tickles your back when you sit next to her.
6. The way she listens.
7. The permanent twinkle in her eye. (Seriously, she's always smiling!)
8. That she can never get mad at Adam. (Isn't that right, Mom?)
9. Her scrumptious cooking.
10. Her hugs. They're the best.

We love you both! Thanks for showing me who I want to be when I grow up.

Note: We realize this is a day late, but we were traveling back from D.C. and couldn't post in time. But really, shouldn't every day be Mother's Day?
