I Love Dance and Mother's Day!

We had a busy, but fun weekend! The girls had the I Love Dance competition in Houston on Saturday. We had to be there at 10am and we got home around 5pm. It was a long day, but so much fun. They won 3rd place!! Their performance teams normally don't compete. They have an actual competition team at their dance center that competes. But, this year their teacher created a dance for them all to perform in together. It was so amazing! To see the little girls, from age 7, performing with the oldest up to age 17, was so neat! They all did great and their routine was so awesome! I can't wait to video it and show y'all after recital. They wouldn't let us video or photograph this competition. :(

Today, I woke up to the sweetest little girls giving me their gifts. This is the most favorite thing about Mother's Day to me. I love to see them beaming with pride about what they've made and those kind of gifts mean more to me than they will ever know.

Kaylee colored this pretty gift bag for me.
Lily was very excited about her pretty wrapped present and her name that she wrote on it. She wanted me to open it on Thursday when she brought it home, but I told her we should wait until today.
Here's what was inside! Look at her face! Love it!!

They also had her fill out a paper, answering questions about me. She said I am 10 years old, 6 feet tall, and weigh 5 pounds. LOL! She said I am happy when I hug her. Awww!!! And, that I'm sad when I work hard. Ha! She said my favorite food is chocolate and my favorite color is pink. She even knew my favorite show is Young and the Restless. Hee hee!!

Okay, and here's the funny part...... It said, "My mother likes to ____" and she put EAT. Haha!! She does know me well! And I thought it was super sweet that she put my best friend is Veronica! So true! It said she would like to buy me some new shoes and that she loves me because I read to her. :)
This is the bracelet Kaylee made me. Isn't it so pretty?!
I love Kaylee's card and her drawing of me! :) Inside it said that she loves me because I am nice, I taught her how to ride a bike and that's her favorite memory of me, she loves to go to the park with me, I help her reach stuff, I like to go shopping, my favorite hobby is sewing, and my favorite flower is a rose.
Of course, Madison's grade is getting too old to make things at school, but she made me this card all on her own. It says "To the Best Mom in the Whole wide World" and later today she told me that I really was the best mom in the whole wide world. How did I get so lucky to have such precious girls?!!
I think I see a future as an accessories designer in Madison! She used her duck tape we got her and some feathers from her sewing kit. Amazing!
So, after church, my in-laws and Morgan's brother and his family came over for lunch.

Here's my MIL with the girls.
All the girls eating. Morgan made grilled chicken. Yum!
They had to go check out the water.
And I made sure to get a picture of me and my girls. Yes, my belly got huge all of a sudden!
Morgan worked yesterday, with Lily's help, on planting flowers out front while we were at the dance competition. Can you see Lily peeking out the window? :D
Lily says, "Bye!! Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day too!!"
