[SWE] Tea Time!

I've blogged about my local section of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and how they do a fantastic "tea party" each year for their awards banquet. For the second year in a row, there was a hat contest and my super creative husband, Matt, is my "official" tea hat maker. Last year's hat theme (birds) was WAY out done with this year's "bee" hat! (You see, we're part of the Sonora Region of SWE, or "Region B" - get it, B, bee?!).

When the hat was finally finished, I asked Matt to pose with it and this is what he gave me:
I then asked him for a SMILE at least and to be a good sport about it - so here's round 2 (ha!):
And now me, in all my bee hat glory:
Carter wanted to touch it (i.e., destroy it...), but settled for a hat of his own:
While I'm not exactly the ideal tea customer (I'm loud, not exactly proper, and don't own many dresses...), I always have a great time and the food is wonderful! I actually look forward to going each year and eating some dainty foods with the gals. Here's a shot of my tea cup and the beautiful display of goodies:
Thanks to SWE-CNM for another great tea party and thanks to Matt for making the WINNING hat! Cheers!
