After lunch, we played a guessing game.

The Whidden girls graced us with their talents
and so did the rest of the Whidden family.
Daniel and his friends Andrew Stevens & Josh Doolin enjoy the music from their usual perch. I even got a shot of the serious Mr. Sam Doolin.
One of the last times we'll be blessed with a joint musical

Well, pictures of the famous "Literary Tea"!
I am delighted to get to see them, and everyone looks so lovely in their costumes!
Love,

It was such a fun day!

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!
