Mother's Day Tea

Elliot's class had a Mother's Day tea the other day. It was so sweet. The moms had to wait in the lobby, then the kids walked out from their room to escort us to a special room. Elliot was the 1st to walk me down. We had to stop and get our photo taken at a little area set up for Mommy/child pictures. Then we walked into a room with cute little tables all decorated. There was nice music playing, a food table set up, etc. I gotta admit, I am not really an emotion person but this got me. No, I didn't start crying or anything, but it was really special! Touched me I guess.

Each child had a special placemat they made for their Mommy. They also had a card for us. Here is Elliot with mine:
Wrapped up in a bag, they had made us a treasure/jewelry box. On the inside of it is a picture of our most precious treasure-them!
Elliot took this lovely photo of me and my loot:
This was my favorite thing...each kid made a picture of their Mommy. They were all displayed on a wall together. I started looking at them and was able to pick the one she made-first try! Looks just like something she would do. The circles around the eyes, the buttons all in a row, the smaller shirt (some kids had huge pieces of fabric for the shirt), the girly fabric, the squiggled necklace. Everything-it was all very Elliot (me too, apparently)! It is my favorite thing from that day! Love it!
On the back of my "portrait" was this list of questions. The teachers wrote exactly what she said....
Really?!?! If she could buy me anything it would be MILK?!?! I wonder if this means she wants me to wean her brothers and just give them milk? I'm still trying to figure this one out. Still adorable. Man, I love this girl.
