Mother's Day Tea

This is a picture Rachel painted of me. :)

Reading of "I'll Love You Forever".

Today I got to attend a Mother's Day Tea at The Learning Tree with Rachel and her class. It was such a special program and I loved every minute of it. There were tears - of course. Can't seem to ever control them when stuff like this happens. We arrived to a beautiful setup in the classroom for the moms - special decorations and a sweet table of food. Name cards had been set out for where we were supposed to sit. Then we got to watch a dvd of pictures of the kids with their Mother's Day projects. I can't wait to get my copy of the dvd! Then Ms. Kim read off of a handout that they had put together of why each of the children's mom should recieve a diamond ring and when she read it the child would walk in and give their mom a rose and a giant diamond ring. So sweet! Rachel was so cute as she came in grinning from ear to ear. Then we got to see pictures that the kids had painted of us and there was a conversation on the back - How old I was, when I was prettiest, when I was funniest, what I liked to cook and also what I liked to say. I loved hearing all the kids answers - so, so cute! The kids helped act out the book "I'll Love You Forever" (one of our absolute favorites at our house) while Ms. Kim read it out loud. They also did a skit with pictures they had drawn to the song "What A Wonderful World" and sang another sweet song for us as well. It was a great time. Such a sweet and special day for me and my Rachel. :)
