Kaili's preschool class had a tea party today to
celebrate Mother's Day. It was a "no sibling" party so I was able
to get some nice
one on one time with Kaili. My mother in law came over to visit
with Alana at our house so I could attend the party. (Thank you,
Janette!)
We had tea and cookies and everyone was dressed up.
The girls had on
dresses,
the
boys had
on
ties. Very
sweet. Her teacher made a video slideshow of pictures from the
whole school year, put to music which was very touching. Kaili
has grown up SO much in this last year at school. As we ate our
cookies
and drank our tea (the kids had lemonade in their special tea cups)
Kaili & I decorated our placemat
with stickers.
Then the teacher passed out our gifts from the kids
- a framed picture of Kaili that was decorated as a flower and
a Mother's
Day pin. There was also a card with her handprint on the front
and a sweet note on the inside. We also recieved a paper flower
- "My mommy is special because..." Some kids said "Because my
mommy takes me shopping!" or "My mommy reads me a book!" or "My
mommy bakes me cookies." Well, I was wondering what our crazy Kaili
would come up with... you'll see in the pictures below! ;)
After all of that, we played musical chairs. The moms had to sit
down and put our child on our lap when the music stopped. Out of
about 14 pairs, Kaili & I got down to the final 3 and then we lost.
But everyone got a lollipop so the kids were happy to lose! :)
Here are some pictures...
