My dear friend Wenchy invited us to her annual Thanksgiving tea.  It was awesome.  Everyone brought a plate of eats, and those with small businesses donated a small gift for a few lucky draws… and the kids just played… and I took photos in between chatting and eating

Part of the day involves everyone sitting together and talking about what they’re thankful for.

Wenchy passed around a notebook where everyone wrote what they were thankful for… Connor drew a beautiful smiley face   Man, my boys made me proud!

Enthralled by the African Alphabet CD they won in the draw

And then the speeches started… Sir Noid went first.

I cannot describe how proud I was of Bradley.  There must’ve been about 30 people there, mostly adult.  He was the second person to stand up… in front of everyone… and give thanks!! WOW!  Tears… people… tears were rolling down my face while he spoke.  He said he was thankful for his wonderful life.  He was also thankful for the world, and for the things that people do to help the world.

How awesome is my child?!

Hehe, Aaron was giving Paul a hard time when it was his turn to speak

I love the way Nicci‘s face lit up while her husband was speaking

The 7 week old foxy cross jack russel puppies stole the show however, and the girls were going gaga over them!

And lastly… how stunning are these Sass Design dresses worn by Gina and Leigh-Ann… I happen to own one too now!!

It was an awesome afternoon.  Thanks so much Wenchy for inviting us!

I’ve put more photos in a Facebook album
