Tea for Ten

Filed under: Cup of Blessings, Savoring the Moments — Tags: , — candid reflections @ 6:46 am

Miss M.  had some girlfriends over to tea in celebration of yet another year under her belt frilly sash.   She wanted to start off this next year with ruffles and lace and sugar and spice and… all that stuff.  So, with the inspiration of a sweet friend who’d thrown a tea party for her granddaughter just the week before me, I set off to the task! 

Upon the arrival of ten little girls, the fun began!  We made the most adorable high-tea hats, frosted & decorated sugar cookies, and listened to a story while we ate grown-up snacks like cheese and fruit.  If you’re planning to throw a party for kids, I recommend checking out the fun party ideas on familyfun.go.com.

Such a wonderful way to celebreate.  Lovely little ladies + Charming manners = Delightful company!

How could I grumble over doing the dishes with a vase of tHeSe at my windowsill??  Their aroma carried on the breeze is enough to hold me captive long past the last dish, ahhhh…

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we only will tune in.
