"TEA TIME"
Every time I
visit with my grandchildren, I always plan a tea
party. It's a big deal. We have been doing these parties since Miss
Harmony
was around 6 years old. We all dress
in hats, and jewels and skirts; we plan a
menu with tea sandwiches and sweeties,
along with yummy tea.
This tea party
happen to fall on Valentine's Day, so in preparation for
party decorations, the
grandkids and I did some valentine's
day crafts after school up until the big
day.
First we made these
hanging hearts and hung
them from the dining
room light.
Then we made these
colorful doilies.
Both Crafts are from
The day before the party, I
made the cookie dough,
rolled it out and let the kids
cut and decorate the sugar
cookies.
I had the girls decorate the table, Miss Harmony invited a friend.
Tea Party Menu -
Cucumber Cream Cheese
Square Sandwiches
Chicken
Salad Heart Sandwiches
Sweeties - Sugar Cookies (BHG recipe, made by the kids), Brownies
(made by Suzy), Cake Pops (made by Erin), Double Almond-Blackberry Blossoms

Then of course comes
the photos! Suzy, Ella,
Deby.
Harmony and Alex.
Yep, Deby can not pose
with a straight face...
Elias is a real trooper. He
does all of the crafts
with us, and shows up
for the yummy food, then
checks out....
he's a good sport.
Ok, so Deby can pose
with a straight face.
This is Erin, she is my
son's new bride.....
(I'm sure she thinks we
are nuts.)
Welcome to the family, Erin.....
Our tea parties are great family fun.
Thanks for stopping By!
