A Valentine Tea for Mommy and Me Feb. 2011

For several years Ellie "hosted" (haha) a Christmas Tea for Mommy and Me and invited some sweet friends and their Mommies over for tea, a Christmas story, an ornament exchange and craft time. Everyone wore their Christmas dress and it was very fancy and fun. Two years ago I just didn't get to the tea at Christmas time so we decided to do it at Valentine's and that was just as much fun! We wear Valentine colors, do a craft, have real tea, with sugar cubes~always a hit~ in the tiny, vintage tea cups my great-aunt gave me . This year was so sweet. All the Mommies sat with their daughters, three of my sweet teen friends were "servers" and the girls all brought Valentines to exchange.

Caroline and her mama AND her sweet sister!You can see Ellie and MY mama. We took a picture of me and Ellie but it turned out horrid so you'll just have to imagine a pretty one. :)

It was a really fun day.
