My son asked me this today over breakfast... and I wasn't sure how to answer. So he asked, "Was it giving birth to me?"
Haha, I'm pretty sure I didn't give birth to him! But it was still a pretty great moment in my life. So was getting married, and a few career highlights. Strangely graduating from high school and college wasn't really a great moment for me... not sure why, but it just felt blah. Looking back, I'm not sure I have a greatest moment!
What was the greatest moment of your life?

When my children met and our family was complete for the very first time.

It's weird but I don't have the greatest. I feel like I've had a lot of great moments that are the greatest for their own reason.

Probably when my older daughter was born and they put her on my stomach and I got to see and hold her. Though there have been a lot of really wonderful moments with the two girls together. I feel like @Truth Bombs: answer is better!

What a great question.... sadly I can not think of any lol
There are moments that I consciously made a mental note of "I would always remember and cherish this moment and this will be one of the flash back memories when I die", but I wouldn't say they are "the greatest". Breastfeeding my child for the very last times (before he completely rejected me for good, and I knew it was coming) were one of these moments.

I really don't think I have a "greatest." Of course my wedding day and the day LO was born were incredible, but those were not the happiest moments of my life. Cheesy as it might be, I'm happiest hanging out at home with my family. When everyone is in a good mood and laughing. I'd say at least 2-3 times/month I tear up at the sheer awesomeness of my life/husband/kid and feel like my heart is going to explode of happiness.

Perhaps its right now.... Me, my husband and my two kids are hanging out in our bed, watching paw patrol.

I love everyone! And their responses. Mine was definitely when they pulled my son onto my chest. I couldn't believe he was finally here! I have had lots more tangible moments since, when everyday things just feel so perfect.

Hearing DH say "it's a girl!!" (Both times). Marrying him on my parents front porch, looking out and seeing all the people who loved us watching and smiling.

I'd say more the moment we became an item, when this wild adventure all started. We had been out to a brewery with a bunch of co-workers and he stopped back by my house saying he didn't want to drive home yet.

I haven't given birth yet, but so far, the greatest moment was walking down the aisle and getting married to my then boyfriend of 11 years.
This June will be 15 years. But, I'm sure that may be trumped by the birth of a child. We shall see. =)

One was getting engaged. I felt it was a more real moment than the wedding I spent months planning (although I loved our wedding too!)
I was pretty drowsy after giving birth, but I do have a great moment with DH when DS1 was born and we looked at each other and smiled - in awe of our creation and that we somehow did this together.
There is no way I can pick a greatest moment with my kids, there are far too many. Many of them are watching them fall asleep in my arms.

@Cherrybee: I actually like paw Patrol compared to most other kid shows!

I can't really pick one. Our wedding was such an amazing day....really one of the best days of my life. Topped by a really special honeymoon. I loved meeting our first son, but I was so exhausted and emotional and stressed out. The birth of my second was pretty awesome. I was really in the moment and could appreciate all of the little things as a second time mom.
My four year old stuns me with his zest for life and comments about how "this is the best day ever!" And always telling me "you're the best mom I ever had!" Those moments are pretty special!

I think I have two. One was when DH and I were on vacation in Hawaii and we found this semi-hidden black sand beach and spotted wild horses hanging out along the shore. We had just gone through some really tough times and had come out the other side of it and I was just so happy to be there with him and enjoying life again.
The second was the morning after my LO was born. There was a moment where I looked over at DH holding her and he was laughing as she was kind of sucking on his knuckles. I was like "what are you doing?" and he said "we're playing" and for whatever reason, my heart sort of exploded. I think that was the moment that I finally grasped that we were a family.

I think the greatest was the moment my daughter was placed on my chest and I became a mum. I felt like suddenly everything made sense, and this was what I was here for. I was too out of it when my son was born to experience the same clarity - although it was obviously a very special moment too - but when my two kids met was pretty awesome. Our wedding day and some experiences while travelling are all high up there.

As cliche as it sounds, giving birth to DS was amazing and such a joyful moment! Another fantastic moment was on this beautiful, secluded beach in Kauai on our honeymoon. Our honeymoon was so much fun and I enjoyed it so much more than our wedding day.

I don't think I have a particular moment, but our wedding day was literally the best day of my life.
