Tulip Festival

Tulip fields of upstate Washington

Mothers Day

One of the first festivities since my arrival back at my family home, was all of us siblings coming together and creating a bit of a celebration for the woman that created us. Not only do we all love her dearly, but she also ingrained in us a love for being the hostess, for throwing parties, and for any sort of celebration in general!

Together, we put our efforts towards an English afternoon tea complete with a ton of decorations and plenty of food. Like, too much food. But it was fun! Oh, and a surprise ;) Surprises make everything much more exciting, always. 

So my sister-in-law, Jessica and I went to town on arts and crafts, my sister Kim and I drafted the most cutesy, dorky menu we could conceive of, and then I wrangled in my dear brother Will for all the manual labor and sous chef-ing this would require. We were like a star studded crew.
