Sugar and spice and everything nice!
I got to take Lizzie for tea this afternoon, something I had been promising to do since she turned 5. I love that I have 3 girls and am hoping that there will be many afternoon teas in my future. Luckily Chattanooga has an authentic british tea room so its that much more special.
I did my best to engage her in conversation but she mostly gulped down tea and stared at the others around the room. LOL She was very sweet though and we had a great afternoon together.
She did so awesome. She's pouring the cream here. Usually when we go out for special occasions I tone down the uptight mothering and try to really let them have fun. So she poured her own cream and spooned in lots of sugar. :) We did work on manners though, because you can't be in a fancy tea room and chew with your mouth open. ;)
Yummy dessert called meringue nest. It was fresh fruit and cream with a meringue on top. I read her all the descriptions on the menu and this is what she chose. Even though I read the spice cake with melted toffee and ice cream description several times and with more voice inflection! LOL
What a lovely day, my hope and prayer is that she'll want to continue to go back (and be with me) and we'll be doing this 10 yrs from now.

I LOVE the idea of girly events like this. I've already thought of tea parties with Mandy & I hope we're posting similar pictures in 4 more years.

What a fun time! Someday I'll make it over there! Right now mine and Eden's "tea-times" are a bit more regular and low-key at Niedlov's. Dressing up and pretty fluffy desserts are definately in the future though.
Love your new banner! It's a great picture!
