Happy Mother's Day


Mother's Day was great! Dan and I surprised some of the women in our lives with flowers, which I LOVE to do! There is just something about flowers that brings a genuine smile to a woman's face. Almost pure contentedness! It's beautiful!
The Priesthood at church took over teaching Primary and although I missed my class, it was fun going to Sunday School and Relief Society. Relief Society served a brunch for Mother's Day and we all snacked as we listened to the lesson! I love snacking!
We had the moms over for dinner. I had so much fun planning for this!(as I'm sure you can see from the pics). I found a great set of sheets from TJMaxx and turned it into a tablecloth. The napkins were on clearance at TJ as well! I couldn't believe it! Who would clearance pink paisley napkins?!! The centerpiece is silk flowers placed lovingly in a vase. The piece de resistance ...the floating pom poms! I found them in the Martha Stewart craft section of Walmart! Fell in-love? ABSOLUTELY! They were so much fun to make and matched the tablecloth= we have a winner!
(Oh- ps- the termite situation seems to be under control for the time being. The exterminators came and couldn't find their "usual" mud-tubes. So they think it may have been a one time thing.)

What a cute table! You have the touch! You could have served corn flakes, and it would have tasted delicious! We have the same china - we (I) love it!
