We had Tim's birthday at our place that year too. Here is Tim with the cake just after blowing out a "token" number of candles.

Tour of Tables

Each year, the ladies of the church show off their table-setting skills. Each table has a unique theme. Below are photos of a few of the entries.

Below is the table sponsored by the Daughters of the King, an international women's organization in the Anglican/Episcopal Church.

Below is one with a woman's tea theme.

The next one has a Christmas theme

Of course, being this is Texas, we have got to have a Texas themed table

And here is one with a Mexican theme.

Tour of Homes

In May, we took in the Tour of Homes in the Swiss Avenue area of Dallas. These are restored homes from the early 1900s that are opened for public display each year. Most do not permit photography inside the home, so here is one of Betsy on a swing in the back yard on one of the homes. Tim is in the dark shirt by the pool.

Bret's Birthday

We had Bret's birthday party at his mom's apartment. Here is a photo of him with his grandparents. We were going to a Gator's game watching party right after the birthday party, hence the Gator shirt an beads. What a bunch of party hopping grandparents we are!
