Wishing All of you a Happy Mother’s Day!!!!!

I was really happy to get the above surprise present and song from my daughter this morning. Though I knew that she had something hiding in her room on Friday evening after her school, to surprise me on Mother’s Day. I pretended that I don’t know anything about what she is doing. She made a Heartin Bag full of puzzles, which says I LOVE LIEBE (dear) Â MAMA and greeting card in the school with the help of her teacher. I too wanted to surprise her and made some cookies, which she liked very much. Well!! I called my mom and wished her too.
