It's Tea Time!!

My church's women's ministry put together a wonderful tea outing this weekend. It was our first time to go to Sisters Tea Room and it was so wonderful!!! They have a fun little gift shop plus a photo area where you can try on fun big hats, gloves, scarves, and jewelry to pose for pictures. We had a blast!
I was so excited to take my mother-in-law, Kay, and Abigail. Abigail did a really great job and even drank several cups of tea!

Here are some fun pictures from our time. Abigail is in the middle of teething her two-year molars so many pictures have her hand stuffed in her mouth, but they still turned out cute!

It's hard to believe Abigail is so big!

Big Hat!
Sitting at our table! I felt like I was wearing a Derby hat! 
Mimi and Abigail! I LOVE this picture!

Teaching Abigail to stir her tea!

Abigail's confused look when she said: "Where'd the sugar go?"
She liked to eat the sugar cubes out of her tea and didn't understand when they dissolved. Ha! 

Such a big girl! So proud of her!

Eating tea cakes (and animal crackers)! 

Kay and our beautiful tea tray!

We had a table all to ourselves and got to sample three different types of tea!
Fairy Dust was our favorite flavor! It was a vanilla spice tea. 

Nom, nom... 

Sampling a Mint Julep Cupcake! Perfect for Derby Weekend! 

Kay looking beautiful! 

Trying on the fun hats... 

So pretty and stylish! 



Sara Kate being so sweet to help Abigail.




So girly!


Why not end a tea with snuggling a stuffed puppy?!  :-)

Family Time & A Hair Cut for Abigail

This past weekend, Kyle's parents came in town to visit us from Georgia for Kaitlin's first birthday party. We had a wonderful time with them and made many sweet memories!

The girls fell in love with all their snuggles, play times, gifts, and attention! They brought so many fun new toys, including a laughing baby doll that Kaitlin adores, a whole bin of potato heads that Abigail has spent SO much time playing with, a whole trunk of dress up clothes, plus more!
Can you tell we all love pink? Haha... 

Kyle's Mama is a hair dresser so we always enjoy getting fresh hair cuts when she comes to visit. She was able to give Abigail a hair cut for the first time during this visit. Abigail did a great job, sitting really still!! We were all so proud of her!


She just trimmed off the tips and added a tad bit of layering to it. I have really seen growth in her hair since I gave her a trim back in February for the first time! It's lengthened and thickened! 
 Mimi and Papa C bought Abigail a little play princess camera and she loved walking around taking pictures. Here she's taking a picture of Mimi wearing potato head glasses. :-)

We are so very thankful for these sweet grandparents! They are a blessing in our little family's lives!
