Mother's Tea!!!!

The first graders put on a Mother's Tea every year in their classroom. It is SO special. They bring out a rose and escort their mom back into the classroom. Then they show them the book they made about you....then they all line up and sing several songs. SO sweet. After one of the songs, they tell the one thing they would change in this world if they could....most kids say something like "My mom would never have to do laundry again" or some such thing...Byron said "If I could change one thing in this world for my mom, there would be no more rats!" ha! Loved it! (Yes, we do enjoy the company of rats...big ones, bigger ones and realllly big ones in our garage from time to time). It was so cute. Then of course for the book, they write all these sweet things about you and how you are so beautiful, best mom, etc. etc....but again, my favorite is the one that was out of the box....his last description of me was :My mom buys donuts not often. Too true! Bringing out the roses to the moms.

Singing their songs.

OH....and one of the best parts of all....each kid makes a hat for their mom out of paper, and decorate it how they want....Byron's had gems and ribbon on the yellow and orange paper. It will go in my hat box with my wedding hat, Trent's Mother's tea hat, and Jared's Mother's Tea hat!
