2011 Mother/Daughter Banquet

Haven, Hannah and I went with mom to her church's mother/daughter banquet. It is hard to believe I am a mom, let alone have two daughters now. Seeing myself in this picture makes it real! I hope I love my children at least half as much as my mom loved me.
Haven had a special treat. Her friends Lexie, Leah and Mary Ellen were there. They had come to sing for the group. They did such a good job. My mommy's heart broke for Haven though. She wanted to go up and sing with them and was heartbroken when she could not. A few of the ladies notice this and mom's friend Peggy offered to let Haven sing a closing song. Haven got up there and asked if she could sing a "long song". Which means she would have made up a song with random lyrics about anything she happen to see...i.e. the tables, the girls, the purses, the food, the lights, etc. I quickly put my two cents worth in and suggested that maybe she sing "Jesus Loves Me". I didn't get my camera ready in time to catch it all, but I did record some of the first time around. She finished and then asked if she could sing it again. Needless to say, she got her five minutes of fame and was very happy about it. I do have a little performer in the family. My mommy heart was happy that she got to do what she loves to do. I guess it is time to work on a song for her to sing as a special in church.
