Our ward has a tradition of passing out a token of appreciation to all of the mothers after sacrament meeting. We always receive a package of 3 Lindor chocolates. `
`
Today after I got my box of chocolates Carmen said to me, "If there were 4 chocolates in that box you'd give them to us, right?"
Each young man gave the mothers a potted mum plant, and the young women came behind them and gave out one almond rocka from a giant bag of them. But I still had to split my one chocolate four ways.
Those are my favorite chocolates! Randy gave me a bag with some of the milk chocolate and some of the peanut butter truffles for Mother's Day. I'm pretty stingy about sharing them though.
Now, that's a tradition I'd go for anyday! I love flowers (our ward was giving out geraniums), but chocolate trumps those for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny post. I love the wording in it, Barb.
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy Mother's Day to you!
What a simple and happy tradition. (Roses here!) Happy Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteGood thing because I wouldn't want to openly share either!
ReplyDeleteGah! I have three and I wouldn't want to share! I love truffles, but, I suppose if they asked, I would. Great little great and great post.
ReplyDeleteGood thing, indeed! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteJust reading your last post made me tired! Whew. You guys stay busy. I love reading about your kids' activities. They are each very enthusiastic.
Barb!
ReplyDeleteI have missed you!
This is a sweet tradition. I would definitely eat these right up! We got some chocolates too.
A very good tradition. I'm glad there were only three...
