Mother's Day

I just found this post saved as a draft that we meant to post FOREVER ago.  Oops.  Here is is not even a whole year late.

Our Moms are great.  We love them a lot.  And since nothing says we love you like gifts ;) here's what we got them.

For Mama Baird:

Over the years Mom has collected and framed our baby and school pictures and they've been hanging on the wall in order.  But just as the collection was completed with Steven's graduation picture, the parents moved and the new house doesn't have a wall that would fit the 20 by 4 collection of 5X7s + frames.  So a few times ago when we came to visit, in the middle of the night we scanned all of the pictures onto Nick laptop.  On photoshop we shrunk them all down into a college that was a mere 4 ft long.  Such odd dimensions called for a DIY frame, luckily there's a Pinterest for that.  Now that it's finished we can once again solve all the inter-sibling arguments over subjects like "who had the biggest nose at age seven?" which I know is a relief to everyone.  

For Mama Cowley:
Nothing says you are amazing like a mug that says "you are amazing."  

So we ordered this mug except for instead of a picture of cute little minority children we inserted this picture... just to ensure Mom that we really can take care of ourselves.

We had the hardest time trying to light a fire in the pot so we finally just decided to photoshop one.  My favorite is Nick.  Yes, that is a corndog.
