Wednesday May 12, 2010 - Last Thursday was the Mother's Tea at Brooke's school. There is a whole ceremony in the church where the kids file in with their classes and place a carnation at the foot of the statue of Mary. One of the old (meaning previous) teachers returns to sing the Hail Mary every year. It's a very special event for us moms, as well as teaching the children about the Mother of God. It was especially great for me this year since I didn't have to bring Stone with me (he was at mother's day out) so I could focus all my time and energy on Brooke. We don't get one on one time very often these days, so it was nice that it was just her and I.
Next everyone moves to the community center where the kids sit with mom and have "tea". It was really punch and cupcakes, but I don't think anyone cared!
Each mom had a bag to open especially decorated by their child. And inside was 'breakfast in bed'...
Here are some pictures of Brooke and her friends and one of just her and I.
We stopped to get Stone at school and as I was pulling out of the driveway, my sweet girl decided to crash. What a great day!!
