A Christmas Tea.

Don't you love a good English tea?

My new favorite Christmas tradition:

My mom, Avery (with Pooh bear), and I went to our second annual Teddy Bear Tea on Sunday.

It's such a treat: fancy dresses, Christmas carols and stories, lovely decorations, and the best goodies.


Avery thought it was fantastic.


Did you know lemonade tastes better when sipped from a teacup?


All was well until Santa made his appearance.
She's still not a fan.

Between the snow on Saturday and the tea on Sunday, I'm definitely ready for Christmas.
Except I'm not.
I have nothing done.
The tree's not up.
The boxes aren't even down from the attic.

Guess what I'm doing tonight?

That sounds/looks like so much fun! My Girl and I did the Princess tea at Disney, but this would be so special as its a CHRISTMAS TEA! You've just given me inspiration to look into something like this for her..she would love it.

This sounds adorable! What a beautiful idea for you all to share. I'm so envious of your white Christmas...on Saturday it was 40 degrees C here (I think that's like just over 100 F). Good luck with the preparations. Meredith xo.
