Tea Party

Our little sister loves having pretend tea parties, so we decided to surprise her with a real one - although it's difficult to surprise someone when they're constantly asking you what you're doing and if they can have a muffin. However, we managed to keep our secret, and she was surprised after all. We made mini egg salad sandwiches, baked chocolate chip muffins and peanut butter chocolate chip scones (recipes linked here and here respectively), and arranged a vegetable tray. And of course, we brewed tea, which we served with an option of milk and sugar. For an extra special touch, we used the china, which is usually taken out only on holidays. We snapped some pictures of the setup, which you can see below.

Our little tea party was a lot of fun to plan and execute, though the cleanup wasn't exactly a blast. ;) Our sister (and our mom!) enjoyed it as well, so we hope to do it again sometime.

We apologize that this is up a day late! We were leaving town yesterday to see family, and in the confusion of traveling, this Friday's post was temporarily forgotten.
