Mother's Day seems a long time ago now, but we had a very delightful day. Christina's mother-in-law kindly invited everyone up to her house after church.
The tables were beautifully set and the food was delicious!
Flowers were everywhere:
Here is Christina in her hand-knitted jacket and felted flower:
Karen and Laura:
Lunch consisted of grilled beef and chicken, Thai salad, potato salad, fruit salad, green salad, and green bean salad.
Sharing a meal with others is one of my favorite things ever!
John loved having everyone around:
And all of the kids loved playing outside:
Rachel and Alecia spent some time making music:
And John had his turn on the tractor:
Beautiful things were everywhere:
The best part of the day was enjoying tea and dessert on the big front porch.
And the children had brought cards and gifts.
Christina's father-in-law, away on business, joined in the merriment by phone.
I loved the colors of this gift:
And everyone took home a flower:
Emily and I had fun making tissue paper flowers and they decorated the gifts we took.
Laura enjoyed watching everything.
Here we all are:
Many thanks to Cornelia for hosting us all!

What a wonderful occasion. I forgot that you do Mothers Day a while after we do here in the UK. I wonder why? Thanks for the comment on our garden. The wind is trying to uproot it at the moment!
Oh it looks like the most wonderful time. I loved the tractor and it's workers. Fantastic! I love Laura's little sweater and of course Christina's too.
The photo of Karen and Rachel. . nearly had me stumped.
