I love the preprimary tradition at our school of doing Parent Teas. This year was Bryson's first year participating and Jaden's third and final year (sniff, sniff). Bryson's class "Tea" was held on Friday, May 21st.
Here he is the morning of his tea, all dressed up.
He wanted a picture with his lovies: Cozy his blanket and Husky
Jaden the same day (not the day of his tea).
Bryson opening the door for Todd and I and welcoming us in.
His class theme was Under the Sea with a focus on dolphins and whales.
Bryson serving us juice (no tea is actually ever served at the Parent Tea;)
Serving us food, lol! His teacher Kim looks a little worried in the background. Funny story, after he served me he went to get another plate and screamed across the room for me not to eat yet. He did the same thing after serving Todd! He was afraid that we would start without him! I think he needs to work on his Tea manners a little more;)
Bryson enjoying his juice, scones and fruit-kabobs.
Group pictures:)
At the end of the tea, Bryson presented us with the present of his monthly self-portraits.
A picture with the other kids in his class in his tea group (not every child goes at the same time). These are the younger kids in his class. Bryson was the 2nd youngest this year, Madi on the far right is a month younger than him.
Bryson with Kim(bo) and Kristina, his awesome teachers.
The following Thursday was Jaden's class Tea. His class theme was Charlotte's Web, as they had read the book in class. The decorations and murals were amazing!
J with Daddy at his Kindergarten Tea:)
Now with Mommy:)
Eating the delicious food, including a tasty smoothie and a "trough" in the middle of the table filled with popcorn.
Jaden is a prize for sure!
Jaden with his wonderful teacher's, Mrs. Clark (who has been with him for the past 3 years) and Katie (who became the assistant this year).
Family picture:)
Just for fun, last year's
Parent Tea.
One of our favorite things to do at the lake is have campfires in the evenings. Jaden really enjoys roasting his own marshmallows now and likes them burnt!
My dad brought the boys a boat making kit, all that was needed was 2 plastic bottles. They had fun trying it out.
Bryson was undeterred by the cold weather and still enjoyed going in the water!
Looking at the trout with Daddy.
Jaden enjoyed playing air hockey with Barrett.
While Bryson tried his hand at some ping pong.
One night when I put Bryson to bed (in our bed) apparently he found the camera on the nightstand and took a bunch of pictures, LOL! Most of which I erased, but a few I kept because they were funny:) Self portrait, by Bryson:
The bathroom, closet and bedroom doors:
The weather actually wasn't too chilly on Memorial Day and we actually got to see some blue sky!
J chillin' on the dock.
Every year since Bryson was a babe, I always like to capture a brother picture of them on the dock (usually in matching outfits;) 2010:
I love this one! They are super into goofy poses like this one whenever I get out the camera!
2009:
2008:
2007:
They were so little!
Back to 2010, a few more pictures by the beach before we left to go home.
It was gorgeous out by the time we got home, instead of unpacking we decided to just sit on the front porch and enjoy the weather. I got some pictures of the beautiful irises
and rhododendrons in the front yard.
We got out the bubbles for the first time this summer.
All in all, a very nice, relaxing Holiday weekend at the lake (and home).
