Another year, another tea party. (2012 I 2011 I 2010.)
The hostesses.
Unlike years’ past, this time there were no shortage of pictures taken. There were so many good ones, in fact, that I found it impossible to narrow it down to a dozen for a blog entry. Instead, I tagged my favorites from the almost 200 pictures taken and put them in a separate Snapfish album.

Today Rhonda hosted the third annual Mother-Daughter tea party at casa de Jenkins. (The first two.) Eleven moms, thirteen daughters and a whole lot of fun. Or at least I’m told. Unfortunately Rhonda didn’t take any pics this year — something about the battery being charged — so we’re limited to those taken by the professional photographer (forthcoming) and these, which I took with my iPhone:
One of the tea tables ...
and Finn, who didn't even attend the party but spent his afternoon instead sandwiching the outlet malls between two McDonalds.
Photo not shown: the UHaul van into which we moved two rooms full of furniture to make room for the party. Total cost of said mobile storage unit: I’d prefer to forget, but it was a lot more than if we’d have checked our furniture into a hotel.
UPDATE: Fortunately Maya Dammand brought her Windows phone and snapped some pretty nice pics.

Today Ronnie and Reese hosted their second annual tea party. (The first.) Like last year, the mother/daughter pair (okay, mostly mother) had casa de Jenkins decorated to the nines with beautiful Valentine’s Day decorations. And like last year, the mother/daughter guests all had a terrific time. (That two moms plan their vacations schedules around this event says something how its embraced.
A few pics:

This afternoon Ronnie and Reese hosted their first annual mother-daughter tea party. Finn and I weren’t there — apparently gender discrimination laws don’t apply at Casa de Jenkins — but from what I hear the party was a rip-roaring success. A few pics:
Even the dining room was well decorated.
Jayne (sans Grant) was a big help with prep.
The kitchen was looking good.
Tamir and friends.
Lotsa fun.
Moms and daughters.
Now THAT looks tasty.
