The best gifts are free

My very favorite part of Mother's Day this year was the video Todd made for me. I have watched it so many times and I still find a new part to like every time. It didn't cost any money and didn't take much time, but I will cherish this memory and the intentional thoughtfulness behind it forever.

Todd asked Camden several questions and each time after Camden gave his answer, he would turn to Jaden and ask him the same question. On cue, Jaden would cry or fuss like he was answering. It was awesome.

Here are the questions and Camden's answers:
"This is Camden Medley who is 5 years old and he is going to tell us why his mommy is the best mommy in the world. Camden, where is the favorite place you like Mommy to take you?
If it's the favorite place I like to go-it's Toys R Us
How does Mommy make herself beautiful?
She dresses up and lets me play with her.
Oh, we're going to have to take Jaden out of his chair for a second and the screen goes blank for a bit.
What is your favorite time you get to spend with Mommy?
The favorite time I get to spend with Mommy is.... I love her and..... I just saw a bug fly.
Todd says okay well we're talking about mommy so we're not going to worry about that right now.
What is one thing that MOmmy does for you that you love so much?
She lets me go to McDonald's.
Okay, last question: Why is your Mommy the best Mommy in the whole wide world?
Ummm because she loves me and I dance with her and I do stuff with her and she lets me spend the day with her and  I love her so much.
And Jaden is my best baby ever. Now ask Jaden, Daddy.
Then, Camden proceeded to act silly andJaden started crying. Todd says Oh, you're scaring your brother. So, that's all. Happy Mother's Day!"
It was PRICELESS and I am so lucky to have an amazing thoughtful husband!
