Here is Belgium, we celebrate Mother's Day the same day as in the US.

We went to Peter's parents and the weather was very very lovely. Since I had my swimming lesson during lunch time, we couldn't go to the restaurant with them but they brought some take-away and it was so delicious (eels + fries).

Peter's mom was happy to see us and we gave her a lovely big orchid and a card + card for her retirement. I also had some keychain made with our picture on it and we told her it was for their new house. She was very happy.

She bought two cakes and the strawberry one was so beautiful. I didn't get to eat any because I was too full from lunch but had a little piece of the rice pudding one.

We also saw the grandmas and we went to see the new house so that they could see how and where it was. Mémée Rosa was a bit confused but I guess it's normal as her age. Mémée Alphonsa thought it was way to big (which is true but it's great if they want to organise family gatherings there).
