Happy Mother's Day!

Hi there...it's Lisa here. I have had such a wonderful Mother's Day here in Dubai! I just wanted to share some videos from Kaleigh's and Ashlyn's school performances today. At 11:30, I joined Ashlyn's class for a very special time. The children helped Ms. Cabbie read/explain a book about mommies to all of the mommies in the class. The sweet little ones then sang a cute song about mommies (to the tune of B-I-N-G-O). Then, I was treated to a little cupcake which Ashlyn frosted for me, as well as some
Peach tea. She had one to enjoy also. ;) She then presented me with a lovely gift that she had painted herself, along with a picture she drew on the Promethean Board. The class sang another funny song that really got them moving!

At 1:30 I joined the KG2 moms in the DAA Elementary School's front lobby for a special presentation. There are about 8-9 KG2 classes, I believe. They separated the classes into three groups. After these sweet songs, Kaleigh took me by the hand and led me into her classroom. Ms. Katie had the lights turned down low and relaxation music was playing. Kaleigh took me to a chair and I sat down. She put a crown on my head and then massaged my shoulders. It was just too cute! After a few minutes, she served me a brownie, some peach juice, and a cookie. Kaleigh then presented me with some adorable Mother's Day artwork and a magnet with her picture on it that she had made in class.

Last year, we had just moved to Dubai when I celebrated Mother's Day. Dwayne wasn't here, so he sent me some beautiful white roses. This year, he is in Qatar...and he surprised me with some new sunglasses (the girls gave them to me this morning at breakfast). While I'm really hoping he can be around next year, maybe I should hold out for a puppy or a car. Ha ha!! I'm just kidding of course...the timing of his trips is off but I know he loves me!!
It was such a fun day and I am so happy to be the mommy to these two precious girls. They are my life and I can't imagine a day without them. I tell them almost everyday that they are God's gifts to me...and I really mean it. They are my treasures. I love you Kaleigh and Ashlyn!!!
