My daughter Tina, who lives next door to us said she has a shooting (she is a photographer) the following day so could I watch her kids. I asked the kids what they would want to do while at our house and they all responded "TEA PARTY!!! in unison.
And so tea party it is! I had told Reese one time to wear a nice dress with a hat the next time we have a tea party. And she remembered! She really takes our tea parties seriously.
The boys are on vacation so they were invited too.
The kids helped me set up the table. Right away, Reese said we need a cover for the table. She sure is learning fast, lol. She was also the one who picked which teapot we would use and she chose the Fitz & Floyd with a coccatiel finial.
I had a full size tea cup but I took out smaller ones for the kids but they kept asking for refills. I might as well have used full sized ones for them too.
It was kinda hot cause the sun was on us but we all had fun.
We also had macarons, little ones that I brought all the way from our last trip in Marseilles some oreo cookies and merengue drops.
My tea cup has a lily of the valley pattern
"Indian Tree" demitasse cups for the grands.
Thank you so much for stopping by and to the hostesses
for hosting these fun parties.

well, I saw the thumbnail of your pretty little granddaughter over at Sandi's party and had to stop by. She is adorable! As are those little boys. What a special party you gave them! And what good memories they will all have.
Oh, what fun! You are so blessed to have your granddaughter right next door, Christine. You are making lovely memories with her as well as the little lads too. I love Reese's hat! What a special time with your little ones. I am planning a little tea party for my granddaughter when she comes with her family in July. I haven't seen her in two years and I can't wait. We're going to have so much fun! Thank you for sharing your delightful tea party with us and Happy first day of Summer!
Blessings,

What fun memories, Christine, for you and the kids! I just told a few of my grands last week that we are going to have a tea party this summer. I love that Reese remembered to where a pretty dress and even a hat! So sweet!
How adorable and such beautiful smiles...they must have had fun. The teapot is gorgeous,and the garden setting perfect. We will be doing this very soon with my Grand, Thanks, Sandi
Adorable! Now we know who's going to inherit all your pretty china. Hee! I also love how your grandsons joined the tea party. I hope to have tea parties with my godson when he's older. He's only 9 months so I have to wait a few more years.
Special moments like this with the grandkids are some of the best ever. Thanks for joining us again this week at Celebrate Your Story!
