This is one of my very favorite days of the year!  Even though it is the craziest time of year with all of the responsibilities the holidays bring, we take a short break to enjoy some ‘girl time.’  My girls and I started this tradition years ago to honor the extraordinary women in our family…the grandmothers!Reece always puts on a fancy dress and grabs one of her American Girl dolls to join the party and we rotate each year on the hosting duties.  This year my sister got the honors because, well,  Aunt Jenn is slightly injured!  Look at these two…Shauna’s house is very ‘scooter friendly,’ but come on girls, we need to pull it together!

Admittedly, Shauna is not a fan of cooking, but she really treated us well…I always create a little photo memory from the past years’ tea party…hoping they make it out for display or at least in a memory box.We have so much fun just chatting & drinking tea – Morgan keeps trying to like tea but it’s still not working!  So, it’s lemonade for them.  Then we always do a craft together.  This years was awesome…we made these adorable candle holders!Morgan helped Shauna pull the craft together – let’s be honest here, she runs the show for everybody, including my sister!

I LOVE these ladies to pieces and I hope my girls always have a strong woman to look up to, to learn from, and to have fun with.  Girl Power!
