Tea Party!

So yesterday our church put on this fellowship event for ladies ages 4 and up.  We had a fancy tea party where people wore old bridesmaid dresses and all the little girls wore dress up clothes or flower girl dresses.  We drank tea from real tea cups and had an amazing lunch! I think close to 180 people came! Then there was a wedding dress fashion show where 35 wedding dresses were modeled!  Some were worn by great grandmothers, some were passed down from generation to generation, and some were only a few years old!  It was so neat to see all the different dresses and how the styles have changed.  Addison, Emily, and Hailey LOVED it!  Addison woke up that morning and said "I am soooo excited!" They couldn't wait!  Addison wore her flower girl dress from my brother's wedding.  Hailey wore her flower girl dress from my friend Elizabeth's wedding, and then since their other flower girl dresses were from when they were 8 months old and 2 years old, Em wore her dress up bride dress!  When you ask Emily what she wants to be when she grows up, she says "A BRIDE!" :) 

 Me and my fancy little ladies :)

 The girls loved the kabobs and the tea and the tea bags  (and the sugar packets!)

 Hailey and her good friend Isabelle got to model these flower girls dresses that were handmade and from a long time ago!  Hailey's dress was an exact replica of the bride dress...beautiful!

 They were in heaven :)

 Here's Heidi modeling a dress....I don't remember who's this one was but you can see some of the different dresses!

 Here's me modeling a dress - can't remember how old it was either...

 And my friend Des modeling one too!

 Here's the girls' 4K teacher for next year modeling her own dress from 1982!  This one looked super comfy!

 And this one was Ryan's great grandma's wedding dress!

 And here I am modeling my mother in law's dress!  It was neat to be able to wear her wedding dress..

 and it was kinda fun modeling the hat with the super long veil!  I kept thinking it was going to pull my head off!

 Love the long veil!

 Then after the fashion show, all the little girls got to model what they were wearing and walk down the aisle.  They were toooo cute!!  Reese, Emily, Hailey
