It's been quite a while since I enjoyed a nice tea party - especially with my grand daughter, Brooklyn. She came to grandma's last night and slept over night and today we had fun having a tea party, baking cookies and... playing with my old dolls! (Even my sons never had that privilege!) I don't know who had more fun, Brooklyn or me!!
First we had to pick fresh flowers. We set the table up on the deck with our lace tablecloth and fancy tea set. Brooklyn took this picture. We decided (Brooklyn decided) we would not wear hats. bummer.
Notice the cute jelly sandwiches. Most popular are the little tongs for lifting the sugar cubes. (Wait, the sugar cubes themselves are "most popular.")
We started with tea but we didn't really like it - it was a raspberry tea that was too sweet. So we switched to orange juice and it was just right.
Brooklyn poured carefully. There's a lot to learn to being a lady!!

You're right! I'm not sure who had more fun...you or Brooklyn! What a fun time. You have waited so long to do little girl things. No wonder you don't need to coach cheerleading anymore...you have granddaughters!
Such a lovely tea party. It's good there were no boys around to knock everything over and make a mess!! :)
The two of you set a lovely table. I especially love the fresh flowers!
Such fun and such a lovely table you set! Too bad the hats were voted out--they would have been a perfect compliment to the deck theme!
