16th Birthday Tea Party

This past Saturday, Sadie, Emilie, and I were invited to attend Mary Stricklen's 16th birthday tea party. The girls were to come as their favorite literary character (pre 1950).

Poor little guy. As soon as the photo op was over, he was all better.
He must be like his brother and not like having his picture taken.


After lunch, we played a guessing game.
Can you guess which literary character I am?


"Can you guess what's up my sleeve? Is it a knife? It's not a wrench."
The mysterious Miss Scarlet from the Clue game played by the lovely Mrs. Discher.


Christiana, wife of Christian from Pilgrims Progress
portrayed by Miss Kitty Discher.

Sadie has grown to be such a lovely young lady.


The girls made such wonderful costumes.

One of the last times we'll be blessed with a joint musical
performance by the Dischers, Stricklens, and Frodges.

I had a wonderful time, too, Kellipaige! That was our big, pre-Christmas-trip-to-Missouri weekend! It has been our privilege to give the granddaughters a "sweet sixteen" tea for their birthday, and they can get really creative in the themes they choose. All the more fun!

We were sorry Patrick missed out on the fun and hope he is feeling better.

Love,
Mrs. Frodge

As I said in our post, "That Miss Scarlet resembles a Miss Scarlet a few years and a few pounds down the road..."

Oh Well, it was fun! Thanks for posting it in such a timely fashion. Sorry to be so late in commenting. Loved the day with you!
