Mothers Day 2012 - a photo post

After having my mom with me for the last couple years on Mother's Day, I missed her presence by my side this year. We had decided to keep it low key - we have been traveling quite a bit and have another trip coming up, so we stayed home....I spent the day being a mom to both my daughter and my hubby, as well as to a couple who is close friends of ours. They were in much need of TLC, and we tried to provide just that.

We took the kiddo to the park in the evening - hubby has been to this park with her many times, but it was my first time with her....and I asked him to take lots of pictures of us :).

Aren't we both lovely :)?

Spring is here so it's all green and flowers are in full bloom.....

The kiddo is showing off some dance moves to her mumma :).....

Check out this stylish babe....

I took these close-up shots of hers....her laughter is electrifying.....

Around the slides and play structures....



She sat on one of the structures and posed for a smiley photo....

And then daddy found some balloons near the water tap....he filled them with water, and started bursting them. The kiddo along with a gang of 4 other Indian kids surrounded him for the next 30-45 mins....and all of them had a blast bursting the water balloons that hubby was filling n tying up for them.




Balloon POP :)

And with a teeny bit of help, a lot of interruption but lots of fun with the daughter, I completed this small craft as a gift for myself :)

That was our Mother's Day this year....

@Aishwarya - Thank you so much :)
@Ramesh - I just heard from her daycare yesterday that one new guy (her age) likes her a lot so he keeps wanting to hug her...and she keeps saying "no touch, no huggie" and her caregiver told me it's hilarious to watch. I told her to send me a video :).
@Aaekay - Thank you....hugz right back.
