CHEO Ladies Tea Party

 We recently held a
 "Daughters of the King" Tea Party

for Christian Home Educators of Ohio (CHEO)

 We decorated the church with the G's.

It came out so beautifully. 

Go team work!!!

   

My mom and the girls were in charge of the food.

The top had bananas and grapes when we were done.

The decorated tables were so beautiful,
the food was delicious and 

we all had a great time.

Grape Jam

We saved and froze most of  the grape juice from 

picking in the Fall.  Becky, Mom and I made 

the rest of the juice into jam.

Becky was showing my mom and I 

how to make the jelly.

She learned from her Grandma.

The jam requires a lot of sugar.

Boiling

Canning

To entertain us, Annalise and Janna

put on a "bridal" fashion show.

"Looking good, Anna!!."

60 pounds of grapes; 920 ounces of jam.

It's going to be a goooooood year!
