N has really been getting into pouring things and W and Dada have been reading Alice (In Wonderland and now Through the Looking Glass)... What better way to wind down the evening than have mini tuna fish salad sandwiches, mini avocado and cream cheese sandwiches and some homemade vanilla maroons? And don't forget of course - the tea (iced for the warm weather) - Wild Berry Zinger this time.
Dressed for the party...
Musn't forget the cookies.
Taking great care to pour and spoon neatly - like big ladies! Our tea parties have come a long way since pouring all over the table and pouring back and forth between the sugar bowl, the creamer, various cups and the teapot itself. That is not to say that silly stuff doesn't still happen - but we managed to keep it down to a few slivers of celery being added to a few of the tea cups. The key was to keep the party relatively short, and to remove the temptation of the sugar bowl and creamer once the interest in drinking the tea had tapered off...
