Our neighbor Deane invited us to be her guests to an annual Tea Party fundraiser at her church, which is three blocks from our house. Even though we frequently bust out the good china for "real tea parties" at home, the girls were ecstatic to get dressed up and leave the house for a real tea party.
So, thanks to Nana, they had their Easter dresses and matching hats for such a party--pity Miranda wouldn't wear her hat! Or her necklace. But Sydney was proud to sport both her hat AND the 300-yen pearls I bought for her at the Yamato shrine sale in Japan last year.
And they both brought their best manners to the party, which is always nice. But this is likely a result of their favorite foods and entertainment: fancy sweets and crafts. They drank "real" black tea (after maneuvering the tongs to plunk two lumps of sugar into their cups), ate cucumber sandwiches and mini cakes, and created an Easter basket craft. It was fun for my girly girls!
