This beautiful gazebo sits in the corner of my parent's back yard. During the Spring and Summer months flowers bloom all around, making this spot especially inviting. There is a stone bench in the center of the gazebo. You can sit and listen to a waterfall that is a short distance away.
For the Thanksgiving holiday last year, our family visited my parents and enjoyed a memorable week with family. Sarah discovered this gazebo to be a perfect place for a tea party. Sarah, Rascal (her toy dog), and her cousins Amelia and Madeline placed their tea cups and saucers on the stone bench and enjoyed one last tea party together.
Remembering this sweet occasion, my father purchased a hanging butterfly ornament to remind us of Sarah and the final tea party with her cousins. Here is a short video clip of the girls having a wonderful time in the gazebo with their tea cups and Rascal. I love the way Sarah tenderly cares for Rascal, who has an injured foot.

What a beautiful place for a sweet little one's tea party. Our hearts are with you.
It's difficult for me to watch this. Sarah's tender voice is precious. What a keepsake this short video is. My daughters and I will always hold this special moment in our hearts.
I think I would like to have a tea party out there too! What a gorgeous spot indeed... and what a special reminder of such a special person!
Thanks for sharing that sweet moment with us. She is precious!
We will never forget this special afternoon in our backyard. How we miss our caring little girl who loved cousins, tea parties and a little toy dog. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos tender video clip.
As I watch this I get choked up, and then Nathan makes the comment about filling the teacup with pond water and I start laughing out loud. Thank you for sharing this tender moment.
It's so great that you have those memories on video. Sarah is so nurturing.
I enjoyed an evening recently with your mom in her beautiful backyard. She graciously let my two grandchildren play on the swing set, watch the waterfall and discover the gazebo with the bell and butterflies. It truly is a magical spot filled with love and peace. Your sweet Sarah's three-year old laugh is captured in the breeze and preserved in the hearts of loving grandparents. She will never be forgotten - her life left heart prints on every one she met. Thinking of your family - especially right now. With our love and prayers.
Oh I miss Sarah! I am so glad you have all of these sweet memories and You are so sweet to share them! What strength you have!
I love Sarah. Thanks for letting us have a peek at a tender tea party.
