Jenna's mom

Happy Mother's Day, everyone.

This is Jenna's mom, and I'd like to share with you some of my fond memories of being a mother when my two girls were at home and they were little ones.

First of all, I was so excited to have a girl the first time.

Oh my gosh, I was just beyond happy.

And the second time, I was even happier than that, if that could be so, but I really was.

One of my favorite things to do was to watch them sleep at night, especially as babies, when they would curl their little feet under their little behind.

I always thought that was so cute.

And I just love seeing that.

We used to like to roughhouse as a family in the family room with the dog.

That was always so much fun.

And that was usually after dinner when we would do that type of family entertainment, if you can call that entertainment.

And I was always so proud, even to this day, to watch them perform.

As children, they danced, both Jenna and Emily.

They were both pretty good dancers, by the way.

And I always felt so proud sitting in that audience, watching them up there on that stage.

And of course, even today, watching Jenna on TV or Jenna in the movies, I still have those same feelings.

And probably the thing that touched my heart the most was when they would bring me little gifts.

And when they were young, they would bring me dandelions, you know, thinking that they were flowers.

Of course, I always put them in a little vase, even though there wasn't any real odor to them.

I'd put them by the sink and they would make me smile every time I would look at them.
