Although in CR my mother's day celebration in May is pretty subdued and only acknowledged by my kids and Hubby, the Costa Rican mother's day is a HUGE event.
So I followed suit. For Mother's Day August 15, I was able to have THREE celebrations. Two thrown by Princess and Fatty's playgroup class and then a nice little lunch I made for my friend D and I to celebrate our day with our kids.
The gifts from Princess's playgroup. A nice poem, chocolate bugs, personalized refrigerator magnets and a surprise: a nice sewing pin cushion made by a mom.
Enjoying our feast: fruit salad, ice cream, mini sandwiches and sweet appetizer 'empanadas'.
Yummy!
My gift from Fatty's playgroup class.
A simple brunch style feast of 4 decent sized 'bocadillos': appetizer sized pastries filled with sweet and savory fillings.
Mother's Day!
Me and my 3 little gremlins!
Hubby joins the fun
My first baby! Cuddled up with his mommy.
Me and more gifts. Boobie's gift: a nice stylish 'green' shopping bag (use less plastic). The card that was made by a mom in Princess's playgroup class. And the nicest surprise of all: the wooden pencil holder given to me by father in law. Well, he gave it to the kids to give to me on Mother's Day. It was a great celebration over all. I had a blast!
