I have been planning to host a Valentine's Tea since... well, way before Valentine's Day. :) But due to various circumstances, the tea party kept getting postponed - until today!! I had Regina and her girls, Mom and Angie over for a tea party. I didn't do a whole lot of prep work or stress out about everything being perfect. The goal was to have a fun time! Here is the big people's table:
Note the sippy cup and extra setting for the littlest one - what was I thinking?
And the little people's table:
Only two place settings?
When the came in, the littlest one promptly settled in right there.
See the stroller in the back? It was for her. :) She is getting so big so fast!
They all had a fun time sipping tea (or milk) and eating scones.
Here are the big girls getting ready to enjoy their tea!
I don't think you can tell in this picture, but the whole time we were enjoying tea, a gentle snow was falling outside!! Perfect weather for a winter tea party! :)
We all had a very enjoyable time! We ladies decided that we should be doing this more often. It's so enjoyable to get together and visit and enjoy good food!
On the Menu:
~Tea - Berry and Manderine Orange Spice flavors
~Fruit salad - I put a little cherry jello in the cool whip to make it pink - it was also a little extra yum factor! :)
~Quiche - Regina made this - super yummy! We won't talk about how much I ate!
~Lemon Scones with lemon glaze. These scones are pretty sticky so I end up cooking them like drop biscuits instead of cutting them into triangles. The last few I added dried cranberries. I was wishing I had added them to the whole batch - very yummy! ( I love cranberries!) I used this recipe - without the poppy seeds and lemon curd.
This is so nice Charity...the wee girls are so sweet...I had a Valentine tea for my grands on Monday after Valentines day...don't know if you saw my post on it or not...they had a lot of fun.. ...I have also had a Teddy Bear tea for the girls of our church once. We held it in our fellowship hall and it was so fun all us girls big and small....
