For the past two years, we have been participating in a Mommy's Preschool where each of us three moms takes turn teaching preschool once a week at one of our homes. This day was a special day. We decided to have a tea party where the girls could all dress up and have "fancy" foods. Siblings and mommies were also invited.
First, Amanda taught the girls some table manners.
Then, they got to have some finger foods: little cut-out sandwiches, fruit on toothpicks, pickles, olives, deviled eggs and cookies for dessert.
They didn't care so much about the food - but LOVED the "tea" - which for our purposes was lemonade. They got to pour their own from mini-teapot and then drink up. Elise looks so grown up in this picture.
Elise was particularly excited about the lemonade and drinking from such a big cup. It took her a while to figure out which side of the cup to drink from - hence the "bib" and completely soaked dress underneath. ;) Oh what fun though! We went through lots of "tea".
Ava had a fun time too and enjoyed wearing her pretty dress.
I think the tea party was a success - look at all of those pretty girls (and one handsome boy).

This cracks me up... Kelli gets to have car washes for all the toy cars and you get to have a tea party with pretty dresses.
Oh I miss tea parties! Enjoy them while they last in all of the mess and quantity!!! What pretty girls you have.
What a fun idea & way to teach great table manners. You have so many great ideas.
