Tea Party

Today, Holly went with Cassie & Mackenzie to a store called "Kiss A Frog" to learn about tea etiquette - yes, tea etiquette! The lady that owns the store went downtown to one of the 5-star hotels and learned proper tea etiquette and now they have little tea parties for kids at the store - they also do tea party birthdays. We weren't allowed to take photos in the tea room, but a photographer was there with the girl and we'll be able to see some pictures in a few weeks - and if we like them, we can purchase them!

All the little girls who went were dressed up in pretty dresses and they learned how to sit properly, hold their tea cups, take small bites of food so they could also talk to their friends, and they also learned a "tea-party" secret handshake! They drank "tea" (Holly told me it was real tea, but I'm not sure about that), ate crackers with cheese, fruit, and got mini cupcakes, too.

Holly looked really cute in the new little dress I had bought her for winter, but she wouldn't let me take a picture of her. Cassie & Mackenzie did, though:












I forgot that Holly did end up letting me take her picture - with her camera... here she is demonstrating the proper tea posture!
