Tea Party

Today the girls went to a birthday party at a local tea house. They were very excited about this party and have been anticipating it all week.
The "Tea Lady" painted their nails, put blush on their cheeks and some type of powder with sparkles on their hands and arms.
I love tea cups. I don't know what it is about them...I have a small collection of them...they are really girlie (unlike me) and don't really fit with any of the other types of things I like to decorate with. But nonetheless, the only thing better then one teacup is an entire collection of eclectic teacups.
The Tea Lady taught the girls proper tea edict. The girls were all very attentive and fascinated with all that apparently is involved in correctly consuming tea. At times I thought her name should be "The Tea Nazi" instead of Lady...but I know she had good intentions...she is just very serious about her tea!
The finger sandwhiches were a hit (probably because they were pb&j instead of tuna fish and egg salad like the adult's sandwhiches) as well as the cookies and lemon tea.
I'm sure we'll be playing tea party even more then normal after this afternoon. At least they'll now know the proper way to play!
