For Mother's Day the kids went all out (with the help of their teacher). For a week or more they were preparing for this special tea. They would make "surprises" during school that they would give to their moms at the tea. Laekin was so excited for this day at school and couldn't wait to get dressed up. When I arrived at school she had a vase with hand picked flowers for me. The tables were prepared with place settings, a lace tablecloth, and a handmade place mat with a picture of something they enjoy doing with their mom. The kids had spent the morning (before all the moms arrived) making a cake and salad for us. As we sat down, our child served us tea, salad, and later cake. Whatever we needed, they were ready to serve. So sweet. After lunch, the kids had all prepared and practiced 4 or 5 songs that they sang all together. After the songs, Laekin gave me a beautiful plate that she made and a keychain. She was so excited about giving me the gifts she made. We ended the class with dancing!
This was definitely a celebration that I will remember and cherish. Laekin made it so special and my heart was overflowing with love and joy!
