May Day Baskets

When I was little we used to make and deliver May Day baskets to our friends. We would get up early, fill our baskets with popcorn, lilacs and other goodies and deliver them around town. We were so excited to ring the door bell and run or drive away fast. When we were finished we'd celebrate our work with donuts before school. Not many people carry on this tradition today, at least not in our town, but we have found a couple people to share the fun with. Finn was thrilled to both give and receive his baskets. Lucie even received a couple baskets with special baby items. I love passing on the traditions that my parents instilled in me to my own babies, I hope they do the same someday.

Finn was so proud of his baskets. He picked out everything that went into them and loved the gummi worms. He also made one for his cousin, Quinnie, but he delivered it earlier. These were the baskets he delivered to the girls in town.
