Happy Mother's Day

This Mother's Day weekend Tom was out of town so the kids and I got lots of quality time together. Earlier in the week Elizabeth asked if we could have the grandmothers over for tea so we decided to make it a tea for Mother's Day.

We made a few different treats.

We were trying to wait patiently for the guests to arrive :)

The kids did all the work. They made the treats and set the table (I used my china, which I hardly ever use, so we went ahead and used all the different sized plates, just for fun. I let the kids set the table so when I came back into the room they had all the plates lined up around the edge of the table, and they couldn't understand why I had given them 15 plates when there were only going to be 5 of us!)

Ben sat down immediately when our guests arrived to eat. Elizabeth wanted to help so she passed out all the food and drinks.

I think she felt very grown-up hosting her own tea!

Ben really enjoyed all the yummy food.

Afterwards we played in the playroom. Elizabeth finally let me do her hair!

Teacher Elizabeth!

Mother's Day morning we woke up and the kids brought me my presents they had hidden with Tom earlier in the week.

Elizabeth made me this cute wind chime at school - too bad we don't have a tree to hang it up in.

We went to brunch at Jessica's house and had a great time eating and playing.

We haven't done pictures with the grandparents lately so we had some photo shoots.

Then Jessica tried to get a picture of her kids so Ben was dancing around trying to get them to smile. I think all he succeded in doing was making Cooper and Jackson look at him and not the camera.

We had a great Mother's Day and hope you did too!
