Spring Tea Party…

On Wednesday mornings, we go to our local library for music time. Ms. Sara, who is also the pianist and children’s choir leader at our church leads the group. She sings songs, reads books and plays games with the kids for 30 minutes on Wednesdays. Every year, she also hosts a Spring/Easter Tea Party.

The kids have been signing “'I’m a little tea pot” every week since Valentine’s Day to get ready for the big tea party. We’ve missed a few weeks lately, but we were able to make it to the tea party. 

It was held in the fellowship hall of our church this morning.

The children, all dressed in their tea party best, gathered on the stage and sang some tea party songs. Mrs. Sara said the blessing with them after they sang.

The children got to try hot tea using real tea cups complete with creamer and sugar cubes. AB took her tea with one lump, which shocked me considering what a sweet tooth she has. She was excited when I told her she could fix mine, too. She asked if I’d like “one lump or two…” She’s a tea party pro. :)

No real tea cup for Mames…Maybe next year… or maybe not, depending on how her love for throwing EVERYTHING diminishes.

After tea and snacks, the kids got to hunt Easter eggs. Usually the tea party falls before Easter, but who says you can’t hunt eggs after Easter anyway?

Mamie was just excited to get down. She didn’t find any eggs on her own, but her sister was so sweet and gave her one.

I dressed the girls in their Easter dresses again, hoping to get a picture of both of them looking at the camera, since we didn’t get one on Easter…

Wishful thinking. :)  My friend, Grace did get this one, though, and everyone’s actually looking!!! Yay!

It was a fun morning with my two sweet girls.
