day 68 - Tea, if you please!


mar 9
Or rather.... hot chocolate. Audrey invited me to her R.S. (Relief Society) birthday party social and is seen pouring her mother a cup. The tea was lovely! We enjoyed fancy finger cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, poppy seed lemon scones, raspberry and apricot jam, and delicate desserts (mini cupcakes filled with chocolate moose, powdered donut holes, and chocolate peanut almond bars.
We also enjoyed a fashion show of the decades. The Young Women fashioned the clothing, and a sister born from each decade amused us with wit and facts. She also shared her testimony of R.S. The oldest sister was 98 years old.... and she was a hoot! You would have thought she 40 years younger. I was thoroughly entertained and impressed.
Thanks Audrey for inviting your mother to an outstanding tea!

Looks like fun! I love tea parties, and would love to host one one day. Love the shot of Audrey pouring the tea! Very creative!

The Relief Society is always so much more put together than the Elders Quorum -- we just go to a park, and order a pizza. :)
