Tea Party Time!

February 14th is the bringer of love and (at the Harrison's) the North Wind. This year he made an extra stop at the Diaz home, bringing Alli and Ian a tea set.

So... we enjoyed having a Tea Party with another Valentine's Day tradition, decorating sugar cookies. The cookies weren't exactly crumpets, but they were delicious all the same. And luckily for Ian, Grandma was ready to pour...

...and pour. Mmmmm pink lemonade.

White Shoes Forever

"I don't believe you still wear those shoes!" exclaimed Shane when he stopped by from Vietnam en route to Vegas. He bought the antiques back in 1984 at a Kelly Magleby yard sale, used. Brandon inherited them when Shane went on his mission in 1990.

My first encounter occurred in 2000 when Brandon took me, in the LUV, with him to copy some papers for work. He was dressed to the nines in a pair of blue windbreaker pants, the white shoes, a t-shirt (it may have even been the cow shirt), and his grandfather's mustard colored Mr. Rogers sweater jacket.

Eight years later, while remodeling our upstairs, Brandon asked me to cut some wood. I informed him I didn't have any shoes, or socks.

"Just slip on my white shoes." he told me.

Of course I laughed and went back downstairs. When I relayed the event to my good friend, Amor, she said it best, "he asked you to put your feet where?!"

Grandma and Giggles

Grandma and Aunt Jessica came to visit on Super Bowl Sunday. There were some great plays, but Madelaine stole the show.

Bows?

A last minute addition to a near perfect blessing ensemble. I never thought I would be adding a bow to anything.
