There were a couple of special days this May.
First up was the coronation of King Charles III on May 6. Ryan and I got up at 5:45am to catch the end of the procession and the ceremony at Westminster Abbey. I had made scones the night before so we'd have something fun to snack on while we watched. We put lemon curd on some while we put clotted cream and jam (raspberry though, not strawberry) on the others. They were super delicious.
It was pretty fun to watch this historic event as it was happening.
Mothers Day was the following weekend on May 14.
We started our morning at church which was lovely; I am always so thankful for First Baptist Smyrna. After that, Mia and I came home to get her ready for her Legally Blonde performance while Ryan and Lily stopped to pick up Publix subs for us. We ate a quick bite then headed up to Woodstock for the performance. After dropping Mia off, we had a a couple hours to kill before the actual performance, so we walked around the cute little downtown area and found a Bubble Tea. I always love a good bubble tea!
Then we watched Mia's last performance which was very fun. It was about 5:30 when we left the theater, and I asked if we could just go by Whataburger for dinner. It's new to the area, and I thought it'd be fun to get something different. I definitely didn't want to drive almost an hour home and then we start figuring out what to cook!
After dinner I opened my gift from the girls (a denim jacket I've been eyeing!) and then I headed over to my parents' house. We sat outside in their garden for a couple of hours chatting, and it was so wonderful. I'm very thankful for both of my parents, but on this day, especially for my mom.
It was a lovely day celebrating being a mom and loving my mom. I am blessed by both!
