After everyone finished riding their bikes (or "Freddy," as the original owner of that Little Tikes orange-haired "thing" that Lili was riding
- picture can be seen in above link - was named by Lulu many years ago) they went to the backyard to swing and slide before Fen had to leave.

Pepper enjoyed playing outside with the children, too. |
The next day it was raining so the girls decided to watch a movie in the morning while curled up in a chair or on the couch with a blanket for each. That's a wooden train track that Fen and I built the day before on the floor below them. They played with it for a while during their visit.
In the afternoon they had a tea party. I wear hats
a lot so the girls borrowed some in order to be properly dressed for the occasion. They used my toy china tea set that I got as a Christmas gift many years ago from my own grandparents. I'm happy that I saved it (and that only 1 piece was ever broken and mended) so that my grandchildren can also enjoy it.
They gave each other (and me) nicknames, but I won't tell you the given names because it would provide too much information. Instead, I'll just tell the titles they bestowed upon each other. :)

The Duchess |

The Lady |

The Princess (I'm sure you're all shocked by this. Every generation has one. Lol!) |
|
And the Guest-of-honor |
Their "guest-of-honor" really wasn't too thrilled with the proceedings but she tolerated them as long as we kept her well supplied with food. :)
I was dubbed the lady in waiting, which was appropriate because that's exactly what I was doing!

Tea set in original box. It has a rainy day theme which was appropriate! |
We had a wonderful visit and all were sorry when they had to leave to go to a friend's house so that I could go to church to do my job. Our playtime was over much too soon!
Boy, do I know the "Lady-in-waiting" role! A tea party isn't a tea party without little edibles! Mem
ReplyDeleteThat took me down memory lane! Our girls had mini tea sets like that too! You've got gorgeous grands - but you knew that! Blessings!
