Holiday Tea

I am fortunate to live near

Oatlands Plantation which is a beautiful

historic home located in the foothills

of Virginia's horse country.

During this time of year they

offer holiday teas for the season.

Lance and I took my mom

he wasn't too sure about it since

it was mainly girls and women

I think he enjoyed being

with his mom and Nina

but maybe it was the fact they gave

him his own hot chocolate pot

to keep at our table.

Each child that attended received

an ornament which is the silver

Christmas tree sitting next to his plate.

I had to take advantage of him

being all dressed up.

The three of us after our tea.

Lance and I before we left our house.

I have learned to cherish all the little

boy things he does because they grow up

way too fast and are no longer little boys

but grown men.

A gentleman my husband works

with gave him this coin and he

thinks it is the coolest thing ever.

Not quite sure what this really means.

This is what happens when your son spends

an evening with your very hip brother and

he feels the need to teach him something.
