Happy May Day!

Last night I hosted book club here and we discussed "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" - it's actually a really great fun read! We went with the theme of the book and most everyone brought a dessert of some kind. I made Pear Custard Bars since that's what everyone always asks me to bring every where :)

After everyone had left, I came up to find ML on his computer and he pointed to some gift bags on top of our Armoir (spelling?) Anyways - I asked who those are from and he said they were may day baskets for the girls from him. How sweet is that?!

So, this morning after Audrey had gotten out of bed and I had gotten Eliza out of her crib, and then I crawled back into bed (LOL!) Audrey brought something over to me from ML's side of the bed.......
A: "Happy may day, mommy!"
Me: "OH - thank you honey! Do you know what May Day is?"
A: "yeah - it's like soy sauce..... and you mix it with ketchup. Yep, and it's really good with french fries"
ML: "MAY DAY, Not Mayonaise, Audrey" *laughs*

It was SO cute! Then, I ran to grab my camera, cause I knew that ML was going to give them their may day baskets and when I got back, I took a picture of Audrey and her response was.... "that was SO bright" pretty much in disgust. LOL!

Eliza got right into my may day basket with all the hershey hugs and kisses and started opening them saying "chocolate" She LOVES her chocolate! hee hee.

You can't see, but she's holding up a hershey kiss here. AND she has one in her mouth LOL

ML handed the girls their may day baskets - they were SO excited!

Right away they looked inside to find all the hershey kisses... the hershey hugs are safe for Audrey too, so ML got some of those too :) He explained that there were some that were hugs and others were kisses. Audrey thought that was neat. She liked the hugs the best (same as me!)

Here is ML with the girls :) SO cute! What a fun morning already!

Did anyone bring Bon Bons last night?:)
That is a cute idea what Minh Lee did for you and the girls. I like to have the kids make baskets out of little cups and fill them with candies to give to someone God puts on thier heart. We didn't do anything this year because I didn't think about till I was in bed last night. I supose it didn't help that I have been sick the past couple of days. Way to go Minh Lee with his bags. What a special surprise for your girls. :)

Yep! Amy (who chose this book) brought bon bons! It's fun to make may day baskets isn't it?! We made some after nap and took them along with us to drop off a meal to a lady who just had a baby :) It's so fun blessing others isn't it?!
