Mother's Day

Last weekend was Mother's Day. It was busy as always. Our holidays/birthdays seem to turn into week long celebrations rather than just one day. Since it was in honor of me I did not really mind.

My week started out with a girls night out to see the play Hairspray. This was not really intended to be part of my Mother's Day, but because of timing and that we had so much fun I will include it. Our neighbor invited us to dinner and a play for a girls night out. The food and play were great! It was a special treat to get to go out with only Rachel.

Later in the week Luke's class had a Mother's Day Tea. They served us tea and cookies, sang us a song, and read us a poem they had each written about their mom. It was so sweet.
Saturday we headed to Snyder for a Mother Daughter Tea at Calvary Baptist. It was a lot of fun! They had some good food, cake, and entertainment. We ran into Tenley, Sydney, and Johnnie while we were there.
Out table was decorated so pretty!

Not a great picture but oh well. Rachel had been sucking on a blue sucker and Kate was just being weird. There were several attempts at a picture but this was the best.

Saturday evening Snyder was having a Car Cruise through town. This is were all the old cars parade up and down College Avenue so everybody can see. Below the kids are waiting for the cars to come.

There is Grandad Bob's car in front of the Sonic.
These are my flowers I got for Mother's Day. We also went to eat lunch at Abuelo's with our neighbors. I came home and took a nap. Any day that I get a nap is a good day!

This is the little poem Luke wrote and said at the Mother's Tea. I don't know if you can understand it, but he was sure cute reading it!!

"Alanna is her name,

And cleaning is her game.

Rosa's is her favorite thing to eat,

But the love she gives me is something I can't beat!"

God has blessed me with four beautiful kids that I would not trade for anything and a loving and supportive Mom of my own who is always there when I need her. Not to mention the BEST Grandma ever. I am definitely the lucky one in this whole deal!!
