Mother's Day Tea at AppleTree

The Mother's Day teas at Apple Tree are always a really special time.  The little boys wear khakis and handsome button-down shirts, and the little girls wear their prettiest dresses.  My handsome little piglet met me in the hall to escort me in, with the biggest smile on his face.  You see, the kids practice for weeks in advance for this event.  They practice a poem that they recite to all of the mommies, they make special cards and gifts and they even practice their manners for the special occasion.  And then the most wonderful preschool teacher in the world, Mrs. Tonelli, took marvelous pictures of all of us moms with our babies.  She gave us black-and-white copies, a priceless treasure that I will keep forever.  And this tea was especially special for me since it was my last one at Apple Tree.  Gage will join his big brother next year at our neighborhood school, Mountain View Elementary, where he'll be a big Kindergartner!!!
