Happy Mother's Day!

I received the sweetest invitation earlier this week from Colin. I was to join him and his class this afternoon in the social hall at church to a "Mother's Day Tea." My heart melted when I walked into the room. Everything looked so pretty. All decorated in purple. The tables were set with mats made by the children, trays of fresh fruit and baskets of little muffins (all made by the kids). The walls were adorned with the children's art work. Below is a picture of the table setting, a butterfly painted by Colin and a quote "My mom is special because..."


According to Colin they have been practicing their table manners for this special day. The kids came marching into the social hall with their hands behind their backs. One at a time they came to their moms and presented us with a flower they had made. Again, my heart melts and I couldn't be more proud. He sat next to me and served me fresh fruit and muffins. What a little gentlemen I have. After we ate all the kids stood in front of the room and sang several sweet songs they had been practicing. One sung to the tune of BINGO:
"I love her and she loves me
and Mommy is her name-O
M-o-m-m-y, M-o-m-m-y, M-o-m-m-y
and Mommy is her name-O.

They each grabbed a wrapped gift off the counter and brought it to the table. Inside the purple painted paper was a book mark with his picture and his written name along with a framed photo his teachers took. He was so proud. He was beaming. He kept telling me how much he loved me and did I love spending time with my little man. YES, YES, YES! It was just all to sweet. I think I have a tooth ache now. Our placemats were laminated hand and foot prints with the words to the poem and songs they sang. So many memories and so many keep sakes. I think this scrapbook entry might be a two pager.

I hope every one's Mother Day is as special as mine was.
