Last May, at Teresa's request, I helped rally some friends and threw a mothers day celebration for her discipleship group which include some of the leaders in the church.
Everything was kept a surprise. The unsuspecting mothers thought they were coming for a discipleship time and were surprised by the change of the decorated hall. To top it off, I secretly asked their children to be the waiters and waitresses of the event. Imagine the surprise they had when they walk in to see the place and their children serving them drinks and munchies.
the team that made things happen.
it's really fun to see the mothers play purse scavenger hunt! they can literally litter the whole table with the knick knacks in their handbag! there can be anything and everything! Always prepared!
David was the chef! He managed to impress the mothers with his culinary skills! And that you know speaks volume!
Fine dining takes a lot of serving!
the first thing every mom gets when they enter is a "ï'm a marvelous mother" tag!
did i mention that the first thing each mother did when they arrived was to check out the kitchen? i'm still not sure why but it's like the natural thing for them to go straight to the kitchen! hahah..
halfway through lunch, the teens started singing. they changed some of the lyrics of the song "you don't know you are beautiful" and i can see the mothers immediately stop eating and start recording their children singing. They of course enjoyed the presentation! The teens were really nervous!
Another surprise came when each mother gets a special dessert - a hand written card from their husband - on a platter. And also the lunch was sponsored by the husbands!
Happy Marvelous Mothers Day to all of you!
Disclaimer: although the husbands paid for the "event", there was no profit taken from it. All the funds went into the decoration and the food. =)
