Cora made me the hat in school out of wrapping paper and liquid starch, and Violet decorated the heart-shaped photo holder at her preschool.
I really have the best job in the world!
Later in the morning, we went to church and posed in the sweet photo booth area.
After a relaxing afternoon at home, we met my family at Lazy Dog for dinner to celebrate the occasion. Being that we also did this last year, maybe we have a new tradition going.
And speaking of Mother's Day traditions... Last year Genia and I spent a few hours together, and this year, I was blessed to get to see her, too. She made a quick visit to SoCal, and stayed with us Sunday night, Monday, and part of Tuesday.
It was so very good to have time to catch up, in person. On Monday, we went to the Tea Gardens for brunch, the mall for shopping, Lazy Dog for a drink, and out to dinner in the evening. It was a vacation day for me, too! (Violet took this photo of us at Lazy Dog. It's surprisingly good, seeing how much the camera was wobbling in her hands.)
Cora and Violet were almost as excited to see Genia as I was. Genia slept in Cora's room, and the girls slept on our floor. Unprompted, Cora wrote this note for her Sunday and left it on her pillow.
On Tuesday, Genia came with me to our final Mom2Mom meeting of the year, before it came time for her to return to her family.
We're all excited about our trip to Montana this July, when we'll get to see the kids and John, too.
