The girls and I were invited to a lovely tea party last week, just for moms and daughters, by our friend Mary and her girls. They are moving this week and it's sad to say good-bye to friends we just made, but such is life in the Air Force. We wish them the best in their retired (from the AF, that is!) life! They have been a blessing to us in the short time we've known them.

For obvious reasons, I won't share the photos of all the other girls but thought I would show the lovely table that was laid out. It was a special treat for my girls to dress up, get their hair fixed pretty and practice acting like ladies.

 You might think setting out cloth napkins, fresh flowers and lace tablecloths is a bit much for children, but I was pleased to see how much the girls truly rose to the occasion, on down to the 3 year olds! Nothing spilled, polite manners, and the girls sat quietly and behaved so sweetly.

Here is the big table (for the girls!), pre-tea:
