What a nice weekend we had!

Addie and I are on a committee of about ten women who run a women’s ministry at our church.

This past Saturday morning we hosted a Mother and Daughter Tea Party that was held in our church basement.

It was SO much fun to plan, organize, and prepare for!

We had almost 80 gals attend the tea party.

Eliza was my only date for the tea party, as Kayla was out of town and Addie Mae had to work.

We had the best time!

Eliza was SO excited to be my helper as we prepared the food, set up and set out the food.

I will let the photos show how beautiful it all turned out!

We could not have done it with one less set of hands – many hands make light work!

After we arrived home from the tea, Blake took the kiddos fishing!

They had a great time!

Sunday morning before church the kiddos blessed me with a gift for Mother’s Day – homemade cards, a new mug, and some chocolate!

My favorite mug had chipped and was getting more chipped each time it was washed, so I really appreciate a new mug to call my favorite!

After church and lunch we decided to get a photo of the kiddos and I.

It wasn’t as easy as it would seem to be!

That’s better!!!

Me and my crew!!

Minus one very precious member of this crew – Kayla Lauren!

Addie Mae made our traditional Mother’s Day cheesecake for me too!

IT WAS SO GOOD.

Remember that new wood island counter I told you all about?

It was delivered Sunday afternoon (now that’s service!!), and it turned out so beautiful!

(We are still in the process of painting the island white.)

We spent Mother’s Day afternoon just BEING here all together, and then in the evening our favorites (Briar’s people!!) joined us for Sunday night snack night!

I was right that we had a nice weekend, wasn’t I?

The weather is getting better and better each day this week, and has us northerners hopeful that we might actually have summer this year!!!

YAHOO!!

Hoping all you Mom’s out there had a nice Mother’s Day too!
