He also took us out on the boat on Saturday and cooked dinner. C &amp; M bought me two gorgeous hummingbird feeders, a bag of sugar (for the birds) and some birdseed. Exactly what I ask for (pretty sure Grandma took them shopping) and cards from each.<br /> My Mom had us over for a bbq last night, and we gave her some dahlia plants. MIL sent me a text, nothing from dh's step-mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-get-a-mothers-day-gift-from/page/2#post-778759 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:24:37 +0000 shopaholic 778759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: loooove that!

That's so nice so many of your parents and ILs recognized you on Mother's Day too!<br /> Just DH and K - got me a Tiffany and Co. necklace - but got the wrong birthstone so I have to go exchange it.

I keep putting the bed off even though I love it. We only have 2 matching chairs for our table right now, and I'd like to fit at least 6 so we can host holiday dinners at our house. I hate being practical with gifts lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-get-a-mothers-day-gift-from/page/2#post-778367 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:16:20 +0000 littlebug 778367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs got me a gift certificate to a spa for a massage, facial, mani, and champagne.
