MOTHER'S DAY MEMORIES

I have some very special memories of Mother's Day Weekend.  On Saturday, I was able to spend several hours with my Mom and sister, my oldest daughter Jennifer and niece MaryBeth.  We attended a lovely luncheon at my parents' church sponsored by their Christian Movement organization.  My Dad was there to help serve. The pasta/chicken salad and fresh fruit were delicious, followed by a yummy dessert.  The theme for the luncheon was "Step up to Friendship" and all the table decorations were "shoe" related!  Very clever! The church pastor welcomed us, offered a prayer and the ladies in the Christian Movement did a wonderful job with their greetings, stories, and the program. A special group of tap dancers (all over the age of 50!) danced to several favorite songs with a few costume changes between! Amazing!! It was a very enjoyable afternoon!

On Sunday, my children put together a special brunch for me.  Alissa and Alan hosted at their home.  The mimosas were refreshing, followed by a delicious egg cassarole, fresh fruit, muffins, bagels, and coffee.

Here is my husband enjoying Mother's Day after church...this is his usual posture on Sundays! ;-)

Here are the beautiful tulips which graced the table; Alissa shared them with Corissa and I when we were leaving.

Landon was really excited about the "open staircase" at Uncle Alan and Aunt Alissa's house! 

Cailyn and Landon kept us smiling throughout our meal, and afterwards we all headed upstairs.  Cailyn found Aunt Alissa's exercise ball...never knew there were so many ways to enjoy that piece of equipment!

Uncle Alan even took time during our visit to read stories to his niece! I love this picture!

This is my favorite photo of the day...

My children made me feel very special and loved on the day reserved for Mothers...actually, they do that everyday, just by being who they are!  THANKYOU again, dear ones, for all your gifts and love! I LOVE YOU!!
