Mother's Day

     After church this morning, Mom and we five older girls went to see the Metropolitan Ballet give an exciting performance of Amadeus (the story of the life of Mozart). We came home to a supper of salmon, steak, strawberry salad, asparagus and potatoes!

Ana eyes the salmon.


 Snuggle time while supper settles.

Down time.



 We played a round of Mexican Train and then started on dessert:
a special coconut chocolate cake for Mom (made by Nikkia)...

 ...and vanilla ice cream with toppings for the rest of us.

We sang whilst we played more Mexican Train, and Mom won the three-round
game! (Rounds are lengthy when you're playing with as many people as we were).

Reading cards from her children.


Happy Mother's Day to a wonderful mother and friend!
We love you so, SO much! :)
