Tea Party

This morning Mimi hosted a sweet tea party for the girl grandchildren. (The boys had other plans.) Kiah and Lorie are in town for the weekend and so Lanie, and Lucie had a sleepover at Mimi's last night with them. Annabelle and I joined the festivities this morning. It was just about the cutest, sweetest thing ever. I wish i had better pictures but my camera lens was jammed, Amie's battery was dead and we couldn't find Mom's. So these were all taken with our phones.





Annabelle insisted on wearing this old bonnet as her hat. She was getting tired and a tiny bit cranky so i didn't push the issue of a more tea-appropriate one.






















Mimi let them put the sprinkles on the little tea cakes and dip the strawberries into the chocolate. Yummy.






Kiah reads on a 5th or 6th grade level! She wanted to read the 100th Psalm to the girls before tea time. I was floored by her abilities and the other little ones were ready for sweets!













We enjoyed using Mimi and Grandaddy's brand new screened in porch for the party. Oh yeah, and Mom let them use her VERY special china. Amie and I were pretty scared of it breaking but she just said, "you can't enjoy it if you don't use it." The girls were very careful.....even Annabelle.

Thank you Mimi for such a lovely memory!
