This afternoon Sharlena took Emily, Jenny, and I out for tea at the Into My Garden Tea Room in historic downtown Plano. And, it was a surprise birthday party for me! My very first surprise party. [I’m turning 16 on Sunday.]
I wore this lovely big hat.
And Emily wore a hat as well.
So did Jenny.
And so did Sharlena.
We all had pomegranate raspberry green tea, which was delicious. There was also a lovely assortment of scones, breads, cakes, and chocolate.
All this loveliness put us in a Pride & Prejudice mood, so we went to Sharlena’s house and watched it.
Thanks for taking us out, Sharlena! I had a wonderful time.

^ i’m loving how the balloons look, aren’t you? this picture was rather hard to take… just because it was into the sun and i was afraid i was like burning out my sensor or something.
^ clara’s cake. this is what results of cake decorating skills after 9 at night. yes, 33 candles although she’s only 14.
we roasted hot dogs and had chili for dinner, and smores and cake and ice cream for dessert.
^ i’m not sure what she was reacting to… but it’s funny.
we all smell like smoke now.
