Sorry this is so late...I wanted to get these up last week, but late nights and s-l-o-w dial up speed were in the way a bit. You wouldn't believe how long it takes me to upload pictures!! Oy.

Anywho. Here are the brother and sister pictures from a couple weeks ago. After their game of injun, Gracie decided to play something a bit more feminine.

So she had a tea party.

Gordie as her guest of honor. Excuse me, Duncan. 

And make it Cora's tea party.

You see, Gracie loves the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" (with Daniel Day-Lewis...we fast forward through all the gorey and mushy parts.). So her tea party was based off the one that Cora and Duncan have in the beginning of the movie.

With my help, dressed up in her frilliest dress, got her hair put up really pretty, and (if I remember right) put on a pair of red sparkly Wizard of Oz tyoe shoes, hand me downs from Katie H. I helped her make herbal rasberry tea, cut up a pancake and a piece of bread for cookies, and let her use my special itty bitty tea set. We set up the little picnic table as you see in the pictures, and Gordie came out decked in part of the reenacting costume he made, complete with a period tri-corner hat (made out of a bent up brown cowboy hat.)

And they had tea.

Despite the two monkeys (coughCharliecoughDanny) who were sitting up in the tree snickering. I'm positive they were simply jealous of the tasty feast they had not been invited to.

All in all, the day was perfect for a tea party, and Gordie was an awesome sport.

All I can do is smile.

Love, Hannah

I wish I had a brother who would play tea party with me...:( My brothers only want to play Calvinball.

Did you see us waving frantically as we drove past your house today?
