Tea-Party!

Dave's Grandma Connie throws a granddaughter's tea-party every year for all the girls in the family.  This was my first tea-party. :)  She goes all out planning the tea-party pretty much all year long and bakes yummy treats for like 3 days straight.  It was fabulous. We ate treats, played games with fun prizes, ate treats again, chit-chatted, received some surprises, ate more treats... it was a great day.  

This year had a theme of Alice in Wonderland's "Mad-Hatter's Tea-Party."  It was a fun idea. There was a crazy hat contest and this is what the Bailey girls all wore.  It was so much fun!

From left-to-right we have:

Anna-- the "unbirthday girl." She actually didn't mind wearing it either!

Linda-- her hat was made of cards (Dave made it-- impressive huh?)

Me-- from the caterpillar that had the Chinese lanterns (from Taiwan)

Lauren-- She had a tea-party on her hat! So funny!

Kiley-- Her's was awesome-- it looked like it was made out of bubbles. :)

Tasha-  Her's won the contest. It had a "painting the roses red" theme.

Dave's Fly-Fishing Passion

Dave has found a new passion-- fly fishing.  He has gotten so into it lately.  For his birthday he got a new Sage rod that he puts above the mantel on our bed.  I even caught him giving it a kiss goodnight one night!  I just laugh.  I actually love this new hobby of his. I have went with him a few times and just sit and watch from the bank. It's so relaxing for both of us.  This is a big one that he caught at Henry's Fork a few weeks ago.
