We asked people around town how they celebrated Mother’s Day this year. Check out what they had to say in the photos.
“I had a very unusual Mother’s Day! I picked up my 16-year-old daughter and she had flowers, balloons and chocolates for me! We went to the Venice Boardwalk and I had a Tarot card reading, had lunch at the Sidewalk Cafe and I got my nose pierced!”
“I went out with my sisters and my mom. We went out to one of my sister’s house and we did a little BBQ. It was the first Mother’s Day for my sister, a little boy in our family, first nephew, so that was nice. My mom actually got a little frame of a picture of her baby grandson with his handprints. It was nice to spend some time together. [It’s] her first grandson, and the first baby boy in the family because we’re all girls.”
“My daughter Michelle came over and she made me her specialty, which is French toast, and it was absolutely delicious! She spent the day with us, we really had a nice time. We hung out and talked, stayed at the breakfast table for a long time. It was actually brunch, it was just nice to see her. I don’t get to see her that often and I love when she makes that brunch for me because it’s my favorite. It was really nice. And Izzy, my dog, was with us too!”
“I celebrated with two of my daughters and four of my grandchildren. Yes, and we went to a café, Marmalade, it’s across the street from a candy store. So that was great for the grandchildren, they loved that and so did I, although I didn’t partake of any candy, but I did eat my dinner. My favorite part was being with my two daughters Kathy and Mary, and their families.”
“I celebrated with all of my children, Lauren, Matthew, Michael and my husband David, bringing me coffee and breakfast in bed, followed by an all-day girls’ soft ball tournament in Culver City. We had a great time!”
