This fall my cousin Jamie has been traveling to Europe on a monthly basis for his work. While I know it has been a challenge for their family, it has worked out to be a huge blessing for ours. His wife Kara and I have been organizing monthly play dates. Our girls have definitely enjoyed this! In October my aunt Diana hosted a very fancy tea party for them. It was quite fancy and lots of fun. It was so special we also invited Gramy & my grandmother, Mom-o to join us. Since we would be traveling later on in the day to WIU for the Harvest Banquet Jeremy was able to come and keep Titus in the basement. Faith had fun telling Titus & Daddy, "No boys allowed!" Here are some of my favorite pics from the special event.
Kara made special punch for them with maraschino cherries and flavored water.
I cut cheese into fun shapes for cheese & crackers, made star shaped jello jigglers, and cut zebra cakes into "petit fours." Di Di added fruit snacks, animal crackers, and lots of other yummy finger foods.
Us big girls actually drank tea, but the little girls enjoyed milk in their tiny tea cups.
Kara had taken bread and cut it into hearts. She added strawberry cream cheese & raspberries on top- yummy!
Look how long my princess' hair is getting!

Our girls with Mom-o.
Kara & I decided to dress up too. We both agreed our girls are always asking us to dress up and we decline more often than not, so this was a good chance to participate.
This was such a precious day. I loved spending time with all these special ladies and little ladies in my family. After the girls were done eating they were excited to go downstairs and play with all the toys, which gave us "big' girls the chance to eat lunch and visit.
