Mother's Day @ St. Edward's Preschool

Lucy was VERY excited to invite Mimi and I to her "Muffins for Moms" Mother's Day celebration at her school this spring.  She talked about it for weeks and weeks!

Mrs. Rogerson helped the children make cards, potted flowers, and poems for their Moms.

The little program was wonderful!  And in true Lucy style she knew every single word and every single movement.

We ended the morning presenting Mother Mary with flowers. (The preschoolers weren't so sure about kneeling on the stone.)
