Sophia's Tea Party

For months, Soph has been requesting that she wants to have a tea party. Not just any old tea party mind, but one to which her old pal Alex Baughman is invited.

Alex and Soph became good buddies during our last few months in Liverpool when we spent quite a bit of time hanging out with Ben and Jen Baughman from Raleigh North Carolina. They were living in Liverpool while Ben completed his Masters in Psychology at the Uni.

So yesterday was the big day. Ben's brother lives in Monaca PA, which is about an hour away from our house and Ben and Jen and the kids were up for the weekend from Raleigh for a visit. Incidentally, Monaca, is now affectionately known as "Me Knackers" thanks to the fact that me and Shaz are scouse gits and have corrupted Ben and Jen into regular use of the ancient language of Scouse.

So....we spent a very pleasant day hanging out at Ben's brother's place while the kids (and us) renewed old acquaintances.

And Soph and Alex had their tea party (see below).

Alex has made it quite clear that he wants to marry Soph. She responded by saying that she wasn't going to marry him because she is "too young". I couldn't agree more.

Adam is also the focus of Alex's sister Caitlin's affections. Actually I think the feeling is mutual but Adam's public response to any mention of this is...rightly for a 5 year old bloke...."yeuch!"
