I'm not sure about this holiday, but I gave it a shot. I have another year to get it wrong.
So, for legal Mom, the jonin, I went around the forest and valleys around and picked her some flowers. I'm not too good at arranging, but they looked pretty to me.
For my adoptive mother, Tasha, I had bought some real pretty paper while I went shopping with John and Lisa. So I bought some. Then I sat down and used some of that origami skill I had picked up to make three animals. The biggest one was the hardest. Do you know how hard it to position eight legs? I made a large-ish black widow spider with the little red hour glass on its back and everything. If the spider actually came in this size, I think people would be doomed. Besides the spider, I made a little gray dog and then an even smaller white sea otter.
Alison's gift is actually the hardest. Because she might get mad at me for part of it...
