Avery's class had a special mommy and me tea to celebrate the end of the second term and Mother's Day. That's right - Mother's Day. Did you know that in England, Mother's Day is the fourth Sunday of Lent (which means it fell on March 10th this year) and in the Middle East, Mother's Day is March 21st? We didn't!
On Saturday, March 9th, I received a text from a friend here saying she had been having Mother's Day Brunch. Bobby and I looked at each other and said, "huh?!" Bobby said, "Did I forget Mother's Day?" We were so surprised as we assumed everyone celebrated it the same day just like Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day. We then find out that not only is it different in the UK, it is a whole separate day in the Middle East! Too funny. Some people (Avery's teacher) are celebrating all three just for fun. At our house, we ignored the first two and will see if anyone remembers me on the American Mother's Day in May. Hint. Hint.

The class put on a show for us and sang a song about the months of the year.
One of the moms in the class is a pastry chef. She made this adorable cake for the party. All the kids (and moms) loved it!
