Happy May Day

When I was little my mom and I would make May day baskets and fill them with candy to bring to our neighbors. May day baskets were given in secret so I would sneak up to the door, leave the basket on the doorstep, ring the bell, and run and hide so they wouldn't see me. I tend to forget about this memory until I realize that it is May day again and remember the tradition. I wonder if that is something I could start with my own children or if people would be too suspicious of a basket of candy anonymously left on their doorstep. I suppose it would depend on where I live...

It is also my nephew Caleb's birthday today! Happy 6th birthday Caleb!!!

This is something we do every year. Zach & Brayden love it, maybe this year Kailey can help too!! You should share the tradition with Bram :)

I think I had as much fun as you kids did making up the May baskets!
It is a fun way to surprise somebody. Hopefully, one that can be carried on!
