Traditions

I love traditions. It's what makes every family and every relationship unique. So far, for Alexis's 2nd, 3rd, and now 4th birthdays, my mom has taken her to a tea party (of course I get to go to by default). It is quite adorable and they have clothes to dress up in and hats to wear. The place is called Tea Leaves and Thyme. She thinks it is pretty awesome! I just think it's awfully fun and really exciting for her to look forward to something every year. And each year, we have had Alexis take a picture in the same hat to see how she has grown.

So here is Alexis at 2 years old:

At 3 years old:And now at 4 years old:

So hopefully they never get rid of this hat!!!! Because then our tradition (of the picture) will be over! She actually really enjoyed the little bite size sandwiches this time and especially the peanut butter cupcakes for dessert!
