Mother's Day Fun For All

Today Lizzie and Mommy attended a Mother/Daughter Tea at the YMCA.
It was a ton of fun. We had juice, and breakfast treats (donut holes, bagels, muffins, etc.). Then Lizzie had a butterfly painted on her face. After that Lizzie decorated a flower pot and then planted some flower seeds. Next was the coloring of a picture frame for Mommy. Finally Lizzie's favorite activity (so she said on the ride home) was playing with all the balloons that were used to decorate the floor :-)
My favorite part was the beginning of our brunch meal. It was a little conversation that went something like this:
Lizzie, "Mommy, we pray please?"
Mommy, "Sure would you like to do it?"
Lizzie, "Yes...
Thank you Jesus for this day,
for the juice,
for this donut," pointing to her powdered donut,
for this donut, " the plain one,
for...," a strange pause as Lizzie examines her plate and realizes that I had snuck a bite of banana onto her plate.
"NO thank you for this...," she said with disgust as she put it back on my plate and then continued for another 3 or 4 minutes with thanking God for everything from the crafts to the paper plates our food was on.
What a huge blessing our little girl is to us.

Unfortunately Mommy forgot her camera so the only shots we have to show are the after we got home shots (hence Ellie is in some of the photos).


Oh, and note to all mommies out there: Never sit right behind and to the side of a small child who is trying to take a stubborn lid off a marker, you might get a shiner :-) (It is the puffy thing under my left eye)
