wonderful mothers day

I had such a wonderful mothers day! I was able to spend the morning with my mother, mother in law, and beautiful little girls. We had a tea party...which was soo much fun! Laney had 3 cups of tea. Even more importantly, I spent Saturday baking with my little girlies and that was wonderful! We made sugar cookies (using cookie cutters from Auntie Wen), cupcakes that look like mushrooms and pie crust cups for fruit parfaits (all thanks to the Fairy and Princess cookbooks from Barb). Of course the girlies love to bake and I love having their help.

The awning also went up on Saturday. I love when the awning goes up (or down). For us, it marks the changing of the seasons. I must admit though, it takes a few days to get used to the change. This morning, when I came downstairs, the kitchen and living room seemed so dark. Of course, it is cloudy and raining.
