Although Mother's Day was a week ago here in Portugal... Sete Rios celebrated yesterday because so many people had been gone the weekend before on the rafting trip. The kids sang a sweet little song about Moms and had made picture frames the week before and Miriam, their teacher, had even printed out pictures of each of them and put them in the frame. At first Tirza wasn't going to have anything to do with the singing but then they put up pictures of each of the kids on the big screen and she just couldn't resist. So she ran up and hid behind Bria:) Oh and the whole time she was up there she was trying to get Bria to turn around and look at the picture of herself on the screen:) Good thing everyone thinks Tirza is so cute!
Below is Tirza's Mother's Day video that her teacher made at school- a little less nervous than her Father's Day one but we still have the nervous hands.
They have a really cool tradition at Sete Rios, (maybe it's a Portuguese tradition, I am not sure.) You bring a colored flower to represent your mom if she is alive, and if you can you give it to her on Mother's Day. If your mother has passed away you bring a white flower. During the service all the colored flowers were handed out and then a couple of the girls collected all the white flowers and put them up front. I thought it was a neat way to be able to remember your mom even if she has died. And I love that everyone brings a flower for their mom, it means that everyone gets to be involved.
Happy Mother's Day
