Last Sunday my mom invited Caitlin, Lucy and me to Afternoon Tea at Grand America for our March birthdays - and it was grand!
Lucy held onto her invitation all week asking if we would
- have pink tea
- use spoons
- use sugar
- have tiny cakes
and lucky for Lucy she got to do all of that and more!
Caitlin got all three of us sweet little gifts for the occasion.
We opted for the couch seating instead of the normal tables so Lucy could be within reach of everything and pick her own items (only two broken glasses!). We started off with fruit, crackers and cheese, choice of tea and champagne (only for Lucy and me). Next was mini sandwiches and scones with fruit spreads and cream.
We pretty much devoured the three tiered tray and it was little awkward when the waitress asked if we were finished...and all that was left was a lone green olive slice and crumbs.
Maybe at tea you're supposed to leave a little on the plate...
or not!
The dessert tray came next and it was delicious! We were seated right next to a harpist and Lucy was thrilled. She kept saying "oh I love this song."
After tea we had to check out La Bonne Vie Patisserie - we wished we lived there!
Very appropriate birthday hats everyone should have.
It was such a fun afternoon, thanks mom!

I am totally in love with Lucys dresses, and hair bow!!
'Twas so fun! I could go for some cheese/crackers about now.
Thank you! It was so much fun to spend the afternoon with my girls. We'll have to start a tradition. Lucy was such a little lady.
Love you all,
Mom
