Audrey's First Tea Party

When Jason and I bought our first house in 2003, we had absolutely no toys for obvious reasons. Our niece Jordan started sleeping over quite often and we always felt horrible that there was really nothing for her to play with. We took her to the Disney store and she picked out a Disney Princess Tea Set to keep at our house. She played with it all of the time and over the years, it became THE toy that all girls played with when they came to the Middaugh house. We even kept it in the original box, stored nicely away for the next child to play. Therefore, when we brought out the tea set for Audrey to play with for the very first time, it brought a tear to my eye. I never knew back in 2003 that I would have this amazing daughter that would fall in love with it just as much as Jordan did.

To make this tea party extra special, we invited some of my childhood stuffed animals to join us. Audrey was thrilled to have them and she immediately knew what to do, feeding the elephants tea and the kitty from a spoon, a memory that I will hold in my heart forever.

This just melts my heart!
