The family celebrated Mother's Day and May birthdays - five - by enjoying lunch in my backyard.
It was a gorgeous, warm afternoon - perfect for blowing bubbles.
I served vegetable crepes with zuchinni spread, and corn chipotle soup. Ruhiyyih brought fruit kebobs, Annie made chocolate covered strawberries, and I made brownies.
Gift-exchange, funny cards, and time to get caught up on everyones news. 
Matt and Ruhiyyih, on the far right, have new jobs, and now live in Bremerton. 
Daniel helped by bringing out lawn chairs.
Annie gave me a book about bears! 
Laurel entertaining Daniel.
