Mother's Day!

今天是妈妈们的节日，今天早上，还没起床，姐姐就跟我说，躺在被窝里，不许起来。不一会儿，安娜和姐姐搬着礼物进来，然后又把早饭端了进来。我在被窝里吃早饭，拆礼物，真是过上了太后般的日子。最让我感动的哥哥的一个纸条，看得我热泪盈眶。中午爸爸领孩子们弹琴表演回来，还给我买了花儿。
I have had a wonderful mother's day today! I had "breakfast in bed" this morning and also opened my presents in bed. Anna made me a necklace and a beautiful card. Leah helped daddy to serve me breakfast. The most touching present is a note written by David. Daddy also bought me flowers when he came back home from David's and Leah's piano performance.
