What's On My Happy List?

Tea Parties!

We had our first annual Mother's Day Weekend Tea Party. As the English would say...It was "brilliant"!

{I personally am not a hat person, like...at all. But the rule was you had to wear one to the party
or you couldn't come...so of course I obliged}

{We ate an assortment of finger foods... crab salad on toasted bread shaped like fish, cucumber sandwiches, a tuna, egg and creamcheese sandwhich roll, English biscuits, an assortment of cheeses...one being England's Stilton blueberry cheese on pound cake, little cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries as well as strawberry/tapioca mini pudding pies, English chocolate and Fruit Squash drink....not only did everything look so delicate and f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s...it tasted d-u-l-i-s-h!}
{Here is Brie trying to learn how to hold a tea cup properly, she raised her index finger instead
of her pinkie finger...so cute!}

{my prim and proper Kyleigh}

{Hannah's mouth full of ...Galaxy Chocolate }

{Emma did a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l job setting the table}

{Grandma is simply amazing at putting on a spread such as this. She is the best cook! Other than the strawberry pudding mini pies that I made and making a run to the London Market, she was the mastermind behind all the other delicious finger foods.}

{Dori stuck a flower in a cowboy/fishing straw hat in order to gain admittance into the party}

Crack me up!

{After tea we went out for an English game of croquet}

{Emma and Grandma working as a team...as usual}

{Our croquet champion}

{We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves this evening and have already planned to make this a tradition every Mother's Day weekend. I just love that I have all girls. Seriously. Although

a butler would come in handy on occasions such as these.}

{I'm overjoyed with my Mother's Day gift this year...even if it's my Anniversary gift and quite possibly my birthday gift too (LOL). My sister says I'm not allowed to say how much we spent to get 7TH. ROW. IL DIVO. TICKETS. for their upcoming Salt Lake City concert. Let's just say the tickets were almost four times the amount we have paid for our Vegas tickets. I'll just leave it at that. To say I'm stoked is an understatement..... Twenty six more days and I'll be front and center listening to this.......whoo hoo!}
