For Mother's Day we gave our moms a certificate for a tea date with Aubrey and me. Aubrey's friend Olivia had a tea party for her birthday once and Aubrey really liked it. Aubrey and I have also had some tea and little snacks at home before, but this was going to be a "real" tea party and she couldn't have been more excited. Aubrey picked out her dress and shoes and wanted me to put a braid in her hair. The little girl is such a fashionista and she made sure everything in ensemble matched. We were ready to go when the moms arrived at our house.
We drove over to the Power's Mansion Inn in Auburn, CA. We were actually here for a good friend's wedding about 6 years ago and it was fun to be back at this old Victorian place.
We took our seats at our table that was set with matching tea cups and pretty linens. Aubrey was all smiles and quite well behaved. I was really proud of how polite and quietly she sat. She was a little lady and looked so grown up! *tear :)
Aubrey had her own order of sandwiches (her favorite being one with sprinkles), cakes, and cookies and she picked out a crème brulee tea for herself. She really enjoyed getting to plop in the little cubes of sugar and stirring till it dissolved. There was a lot of sugar consumed that afternoon :).
We enjoyed some very good food, great time with a very special daughter and grand daughter, and some wonderful, special girl time together. I can't wait for Lucy to join us in the future :).
We all loved every minute of it :).
