Would you like a spot of tea?

For a few years now my sister and I wanted to have to have a tea party at our favorite tea shop Elizabeth's. Last week plans finally fell into place and we had our first tea party. The kids were so excited. They decorated hats and then put on spring dresses and then had a fun time pouring over what English pastry they would try and what yummy lunch they would sample. They also thought it was great we let them pick what pots of tea we would have. I was impressed that the kids basically drank three pots of tea and everyone sampled every kind. It was an ultimate success!


Three of the girls sitting waiting to order.

James and his top hat. He decided that his hat needed glitter after he put globs on the hat that would have never dried Aunt Hilary fixed the hat and made it into the masterpiece that he has. The best was when he decided that he couldn't wear a viking hat to the tea party because it was "too fancy".

Laine and her super cute hat.
Eve decided that jewels were the best way to decorate her hat!

All the kids found sipping their tea from spoons was the easiest way to "drink" their tea.

Our whole tea party. We were lucky to have my Aunt Cory and my cousin Carlie join us for this fun time!
James enjoying his cookie!

After the tea party we went to the church history museum. They had some great things for the kids to participate in. Eve loved the quilting exhibit.
James and Birdie liked playing with the shapes.
James then found computer games and was sucked in.

The girls found dancing and dress ups and thought that was some of the best stuff ever.
