We have had the wonderful privilege of having Grandma Jo-Jo visit us these last couple weeks. She loves to throw parties and she and Emmy threw a delightful tea party for Emmy and a few friends. They made tiny cupcakes, tiny fruit tarts, and tiny sandwiches. The girls dressed up in their finery, made jewelry, and enjoyed eating as many cupcakes and sipping as much "tea" (raspberry lemonade) as they wanted - all with their very best manners, of course.
We also went to Gilroy Gardens. Not only was it nice to enjoy the beautiful flowers and landscaping, but we loved living vicariously through Emmy and Sophie's excitement. Emmy is getting old enough to be concerned about rides being too fast, so she would say, "That ride was the fastest ride in all the land," or "This ride is the slowest one in all the land." I guess she's been reading a lot of fairy tales lately . . .
Anyway, we'll miss Jo-Jo, who is always so thoughtful and fun. Emmy and Sophie definitely delight in all of the extra attention and love she gives them.
