Tea Party

With all that has been going on here, banquet (Valentine Banquet pictures are on our ministry blog), "wedding", regular church activities, pregnancy checkups/looking for a hospital, planning upcoming visa trip....I could tell that my girls were starting to feel a little deprived of attention. So, I decided to plan a special time just for them on Thursday. When they went down for their afternoon naps, the preparations began. I started by fixing my hair and makeup, and pulled out one of the prettiest outfits that accommodates my ever expanding waistline. :) If anyone had knocked on the door, they would have wondered where I was headed to all dressed up. To a tea party with two of the 3 most precious people in my life (the 1st most precious was in the city working on our trip to renew our visas)! Here are a few pictures from our little tea party. Hope you enjoy them! (Just ignore the un-emptied trash, overflowing baskets, messy table and stove...they were taken care of before Eric got home...ummmm, all except the stove...and baskets.)

All prettied up, hair in a bun...just didn't change the tights.

Is it possible to sit beside a piano and not touch it?

Now every time I say we need to get dressed pretty for the day, Anna talks about a tea party. Looks like this will be a weekly event for us. :)
