| All dressed up for Mother's Day tea! |
Well, it probably doesn't LOOK simple in the pics, but it felt no-fuss.
Rather than cart our girls around to a couple of different celebrations, I decided I wanted to be able to honor all of the mothers and grandmothers in my own home. So, I hosted a Mother's Day tea party on Saturday (with the goal of preserving Sunday for our family). Melody, my mother-in-law Barbara, my aunt Debbie, and my grandma Fern all came over in their tea party finest, and we ate quiche, fruit salad, and lemon-lavender scones. Tess enjoyed her first real tea party and got to drink from a teacup and saucer she picked out herself. We exchanged simple gifts and thoroughly enjoyed a few hours of leisurely tea and conversation. Thank you to my sweetie for helping make it happen!
On Mother's Day I was spoiled with a delicious brunch and some very thoughtful gifts, and I got to sleep in/stay in bed until I was ready to get out. I am sure this is virtually unheard of for the mother of a newborn! The first pic in the slideshow below is Tess at her preschool's Mother's Day celebration, wearing the special heart and fingerprint necklace she made for me -- one of many Mother's treasures I'm sure to receive in the coming years.
