High Tea

Last Saturday, the girls and I had a tea party. Its an idea we have been talking about for quite awhile. We had gone out and scoured the local antique stores, untill we found the perfect tea pot. Then we all picked out our own special china teacups, complete with saucers. While browsing, the girls also found hats. Really, what is a tea party without hats? They wanted me to go find them white gloves, too, but, maybe next time!
The menu consisted of lemon tarts, chocolate filled, chocolate sticks. (They have an official name, but it escapes me right now.) Cookies, and finger sandwiches. Jasin and Joe went fishing for the day, and on his way out, Joe grabbed a handful of cookies, with the proper amount of male disgust for all the frills and dresses. It was a little odd, to be sitting in an evening gown at 10:30 in the morning, but it was fun!

Little Lexi, in all her tea party finery!

Kaila looks so grown up!

Me in my velvet evening gown. Note the raised pinky finger; a MUST for all proper tea parties!
We all had such a good time, and felt slightly nausious after, but the girls cant wait to do it again!
