We celebrate Mother's day the entire week before and end it with lunch at my favorite restaurant called McGrath's.
This has been a tradition as long as my husband and I have been together.
His Father's day gifts are going to be a little late. The IRS has decided to "randomly review" our return this year.
I am making one of his favorite dinners though....pulled pork barbque sandwiches and homemade Cole slaw.

I second that!

The families just left about 30 minutes ago, after our Father's Day get-together.

Mother's Day, I worked, while my hubby and kids took their grandmother to lunch...Father's day weekend, Saturday, we had a big celebration for my son and his wife who will be having their first baby( my second grandchild) in August.
Sunday...we took hubby and his grandfather, who by the way will be 102 years in September, out to lunch...so Mother's day was a dud, but Father's day weekend was great...
