Bridal Tea

It was Tea Party day....the day that Hayley and the rest of us chicks, have been waiting for since Erin got engaged. If you haven't figured out yet, my side of the family  is HUGE on traditions and I am so thankful and love that about them.  The tradition of the Bridal Tea party was started when Jennifer (Ju-Ju) (the first cousin to get married) got married and has continued ever since.

The tables were beautifully set, complete with our tea cups! Brunch was wonderful (omelet roll up, coffee cake, french toast, muffins and fruit) and enjoyed by all! I wish I had taken picture of the layout. It was nice to be able to sit and catch up with the cousins, we always have something to talk and laugh about. Again an advantage with having a large family. 







 Erin decided to get all sentimental on us and write a beautiful letter to all the hens/chicks. Guess she was trying to get all her emotions out before the wedding. Doesn't matter because we are a family of emotional women and there will be lots of happy tears on her wedding day. After she got us all emotional, we had to move on to presents. Yes, we had to pass everything to see, smell, touch it all--that's just how we roll!

 This is your warning: Picture overload from here on out. When you have such a large family there are always lots of picture taking going on. You can blame this on GG--she started it...so thankful that I got her "obsessive picture taking gene." Guess we are just getting ready for October!!

 I had been so busy the whole day and didn't think to get a picture of me and my girl until we got home and was getting out of the car. Bad Mommy..so here is the only one that I have of just the two of us.

Can't wait until the big day...October 22 can't get here soon enough~ 2 months from today!
