While Daddy was out firing up the barbecue for Mother's Day, Bridget made decorations for the occasion. She had lots of patterned paper and cut out lanterns to hang all over.
This is just a few lanterns she made to make this a special occasion. Having Rick make hot dogs for Mother's Day is a long tradition that started many years ago when Rick was still living at home. Papa rented a wood splitter for the weekend so he wanted to get done that Sunday. So we were over the hill splitting logs and it got very late (in fact, dark) that Mother's Day, so Rick went to get hot dogs, built a fire, and cooked dinner for us in the woods. And so every year Rick cooks hot dogs (not in the woods) and smores. A very memorable Mother's Day!
