tea!

today i attended my very first tea!  isn't that the coolest thing?!  an afternoon tea?  i hope every single person gets to experience a tea at least once!  so fun!  my stellar aunt, kathy, put it all together for the women on my dad's side of the family, and it was extra special because my great aunt shirley is in town from arizona to be with us!

the whole time i just kept thinking how humbling it is to know and be loved by such incredible women.  this afternoon was precious to me and i'm grateful...

grateful for femininity, for kathy's tears when speaking from the heart, for care in all the little details, for flowers and thoughtful questions about my life, and for aunties, great aunties, grandma, cousins, sisters, and mom... and grandpa peaking at us with a cup of coffee in his hand from the window (;  that man!

also grateful that i am apart of a family that puts on tea parties for the sake of blessing the others. 
i hope i grow up to be a woman like these women.

and you betchyer bottom dollar my pinky was up!  a british accent might have slipped in there on occasion too...

pip pip cheerio!
