This year we decided to do something a little different for our end of the school year photos. We got the inspiration for this idea from Mom's friend Crystal.

I am including links to the places we visited and also to blog posts that correspond with all of the pictures. Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day 2015! From: Siobhan and Family

Happy Mother's Day! 

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I am sorry that this post is so late, but we've had a very busy week, and I just managed to get all of the pictures/recipes uploaded. I am going to put all of the recipe links in the post, so if you would like to see the recipe for something, click the name of the recipe. 
 We made a Mother's Day fruit arrangement with Mom.
 We put together a gift bag for Mom with some presents from all of us.
 For breakfast I made some Oatmeal Waffles with Orange Honey Butter
For dinner Dad and I made some Greek Chicken Pitas with Tzataziki Sauce
 The pita pockets were filled with grilled chicken, roasted tomatoes and onions, cucumber tzataziki sauce, fresh lettuce, and feta cheese.
For dessert I made an Oreo Layer Dessert.
Happy Mother's Day!
