Mother's Day

Annaliese and Haleigh were super excited about Mother's Day and started celebrating the week prior! I came home from work one night to find these cute cards and flowers sitting on the counter for me.

On the Thursday before Mother's Day, I was invited to a Mother's Tea at school. Thankfully, the teachers all worked together and they put on one Tea for all the mom's of the P3, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade Spanish kids. They provided tasty snacks, coffee, and tea and each of the classes did a little performance. They had also made us a little gift; it was such a fun morning! Unfortunately, Lydia wasn't feeling good and had a bit of a temp but at least Grandpa was around and since she didn't feel good, she was content to just sit in his arms the whole time!

Saturday afternoon we went over to Mom and Dad's house to continue celebrating...Kelsey and I went on a fabulous trail run on Galbraith Mtn before everyone else came over and then Dad grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, the kids played outside and we ate tasty chocolate mousse for dessert!

 Sunday we went to church and then headed up to Canada to go to the zoo. The weather was absolutely gorgeous (sunny. blue sky. warm.)  We had a picnic lunch and a relaxing time walking around looking at the animals. They were pretty active and we even got to watch them feed the lions and tiger!

It was a great Mother's Day and it was so special to be able to celebrate with my mom as well as with my girls! They may drive me nuts on occasion, but they are also growing up so fast and I am trying to fully appreciate and enjoy each different stage they are in!
