A Christmas Tea

I enjoyed a fabulous tea with some amazing business women last night. 

We headed out to Mesa to The Front Porch Tea Cafe. Such a cute place!

These were our place settings...LOVE that they were all a bit different!

The first course was a cinnamon scone. 

Our main course was sandwiches; cucumber on flat bread with cream cheese spread, chicken salad on wheat, and turkey with a flavored cream cheese spread. All was so YUMMY!

Then for desert were some peanut bars, mint brownies and spritz cookies. (I only had a cookie!)

Such a cute little place. I can't wait to go back for a Tea Party!

Justin

Just wanted to post a few pictures of this little boy who touched so many lives during his short time with us. These pictures were taken when he was in my fourth grade class. We were on a field trip with our Pen Pals from another school. Justin you are SO missed!!

Family Time

I am a little late posting our first Thanksgiving photos...so here they are. We headed up to Prescott to celebrate with Shawn's family on Wednesday night and cam home Friday. It was nice to get away for a few days!

Danielle and Cathy (Shawn's sis and mom)

This was after we ate...can you tell?

On Friday Cathy, Morgan and I ventured out to downtown Prescott to visit all the little boutique shops. Super fun, Morgan found a candy store and got Mimi to go in and buy her a marshmallow ice cream cone!

When we got back Zach tried to take Mimi down in the grass...I'm still not sure who won! :)

Celebration of Life for Justin Tyler Penninton!

I miss you Justin...thanks for the memories and making such an impact on every persons life around you! I will always remember what your mom said last night...treat your life like a notebook...open it to a BLANK, NEW, FRESH page each day...start with a picture, if at the end of the day the picture is bad...crumble it up, throw it away and start FRESH tomorrow. That is how we all know you lived your life Mr. Justin! Our picture together in our BIG sun glasses was priceless!! I will savior it forever. One last thing...if heaven has internet, you better continue emailing me!! :) I love you Justin!! See you beyond THOSE GATES someday!!
