We had a very busy Mother's Day this year...not much pampering for this Mama,
but that's okay! I did get to sleep in and enjoy a delicious breakfast made by
my sweetie. We skipped church to spend time together as a family clean house, wrap gifts and prep for the day's festivities. We spent the afternoon in
Reedley celebrating with my parents, aunt/uncle and some friends, and then in
the evening we hosted Chad's parents for dinner. We had a very special,
last-minute surprise guest -- my Mom drove up from Fullerton for a few days and
was able to join us for dinner. Tess got to see three of her grandmas in the
same day! We ate lots of great food, had wonderful conversation, and even
exchanged gifts. Chad got me a beautiful glassybaby votive to add to my
collection. And I got some adorable pictures of Tess, although none of us
together...woops!
The first pic below is of a gift that Tess made for me at daycare. The teachers there planned a wonderful "Muffins With Mom" event on May 8th where us moms got to have breakfast and spend quality time with the little ones in the morning. We each received a photo album of pictures of our kids (engaged in various fun daycare activities -- painting, playing, etc.), a jar of homemade hand scrub, and a little potted plant painted by our respective child. It was really fun and special! We continue to be so blessed by New Harvest Childcare Center and full of gratitude for how well they nurture our most precious little treasure.
