This past Saturday, the nieces plus Jack and their Moms gathered to have our annual tea.
Only problem is...it hasn't been very annual for the last two years. Since we started gathering in 2006, we've gone about four times and skipped the past two.
This was the first time the littlest has been...
And we, once again, pulled out all the vintage millinery hats and shared them with our servers...
I went back and pulled out some old pics of the kids to compare them past to present...
And this year, Jack switched his old hat....
For the red one. Shocker there...
And to say the littlest is a ham is an understatement...
A big understatement. Here I caught her taking pics of herself with her Mom's phone...
I have some real winner photos to share at her wedding! And to think I almost gave away that poodle hat because I thought it was ugly. I think it's been the most popular "hat" over the years.
And since it was one day before the Superbowl, here's Mary Ann, one of our servers, doing the Joe Flacco Quarterback pose!
Don't forget
Harikuyo: The Festival of Broken Needles
is
Tomorrow!
So grab those broken needles, your needlebooks and come share your blog.
I'll post a Mr. Linky here tomorrow where you can link to a post on your blog. I'm really looking forward to seeing how each of you will be honoring your needles. I'll leave the post up all weekend so if you can't post until Saturday or Sunday it's no problem. If you do not have a blog, leave a comment on how you are honoring your needles on this day. I'd love to hear about it.
See you tomorrow everyone!
Oh you are a HOOT!!! I envy all the fun you and your family have together... I wish you would adopt me!! lol Growing up in a family of boys is not quite the same...
ReplyDeleteYour nieces are all darlings; they are maturing from cute little girls into beautiful young women. And Jack is as handsome as ever - glad to see the red hat is still hangin' in there! Hugs to you all!
My goodness, your nieces are growing into beautiful, elegant young women and Jack is a very handsom young fella. How lovely to see that they are not 'growing out' of the fun things you all do together.
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky lady that your family takes part in such a fun thing even if you do miss a year or two. It was fun seeing all the pics, especially the older compared to the more recent. You have a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI love your family!
ReplyDeleteForget all your craft parties I want to do tea with your family. I can even bring my own hat.

I absolutely LOVE your then and now pics. We have certainly been watching those girls grow up. Your life is so full of love that it just flows over to the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteHave a glorious day.

How fun!!! I would love to take part in something like that with my family. We are too far apart to do that, but it is something we would all love. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your family dynamics!! And to think that Jack goes along with all the girls is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a fun person! I love all those hats, they are just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFun photos and super adorable every one of them. Nice to see the past and present versions. Our local tea house closed and I really miss it. We "Ladies Who Lunch" loved to go and have tea and treats. Sunshine Smiles all around...
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful time you all had, I love the way you all get together for wonderful times, you look as though a great time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteYou must be a riot when you all get together. Good to see the servers joining in, too...
