Mother's Day was absolutely delightful. We stopped at my mom's house in the morning and had breakfast over there and I gave her our family picture from Easter, enlarged, matted and framed. Then Daniel, Daisy and I headed over the bridge to my in-laws' in Tacoma where we had a big family lunch. In the Dannells' family there are LOTS of May birthdays. Five to be exact. So we had a little Mother's Day/May birthday celebration.
My mother-in-law Bonita's back yard is literally a little oasis in the middle of the city of Tacoma. There is a plum tree, cherry tree, lots of flowers and a little play cabin she built for Daisy when she was little. She built it all from scratch. It's complete with a little ladder leading up to loft. It is the most charming little cabin you will ever see.
Daniel playing with his Uncle Rahmat.
My sweet mother-in-law Bonita.
Yes, Daniel did that to Uncle Rahmat's hair. :)
Daniel wanted his own little chair. :)
I gave George a Washington hiking book. I have the same one and the last time I pulled it out he was oohing and awing over it so I thought it might be a good birthday present. :)
Laurel and Mehron gave Daniel a new backpack and he didn't take it off the entire time we were there. He even wanted to sleep with it that night. He and Auntie Ruhiyyih played a little game of hide and seek. He went into fits of belly laughter when he would find her. :)
Daniel brought me some lilacs for Mother's Day. :) It truly was a lovely day.
