Among other things that happened this weekend, we had a wonderful surprise for Mommy on Thursday afternoon. It was hard to keep it from her but it was well worth it!!:)
The reaction!:)
....Auntie Esther was in town!!!!!:) Auntie Esther is one of our oldest and dearest family friends! She is Uncle Daniel and Uncle Paul Brimlow's youngest sister, and their family adopted mom spiritually back when she was a young girl.:)
She moved to Louisiana last year, and we have missed having her local...:) She's one of those special people, filled with genuine love for every person that comes her way! She is a very rare type of person and we all love her so much!!:)
We all enjoyed getting to visit with Esther's boys' Ian and Christian....
Lots to share with our dear Auntie Esther since we last saw her....
Daniel and Ian both share an interest in card tricks and illusions! They really enjoyed exchanging ideas and sharing new things they'd learned with each other....
Mommy gave Ian a video someone shared with us done by a Christian illusionist....
The guys enjoyed using the ropes.....
Sisters and family in the Lord....:)
Saying our goodbyes....
We also had our first tea party with Evie, a little impromptu but very fun!
She did really well for her first time drinking out of a tea cup....
Practicing our tea etiquette....
The boys saw us having one and wanted to have one as well. So we re-set the table, filled the plate with more sandwiches and bowl with strawberries.....
Pepperoni and mayonnaise on wheat bread with strawberries....
Serving the "tea" (lemonade).....
Daniel joined in ...:)
Both tea parties were a success and a good opportunity for us to practice for a wedding shower we would be hosting at our house Saturday. Here we have all the tea cups lined up in preparation for the event....
"
All men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider His doing. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory."
Psalm 64:9-10
