Tea For Two and Two For Tea






Addison and I had our very first tea party the other day. We got all dressed up in fancy dresses, broke out the lacy table cloth, I made blueberry tea, we ate Spongebob cookies, and had a fabulous time chatting over tea. We used Mimi's tea set at our party which made it even more special. Mimi loved to collect tea pots and such so when she passed I wanted Addison to have one of her tea sets. We ended up with two adorable tea sets from Mimi. One We use for display and the other we used for our party. We had a fun time dipping our cookies in our tea. Addison loved sipping the tea and would say, "yummy" after each sip. She had a field day eating the M&M candies I placed on the table. It was a fun mother daughter moment.
I remember a special tea party I had with my mom as a girl. She made tiny sandwiches, bought me a tea set,got me all dressed up and invited my friends. My mom always puts such love into whatever she does. She finds little ways to make even the most ordinary day special. I know that is where I learned being thoughtful from. Maybe next tea party we can invite some guests.
