A Little Spot of Tea?

Matt bowls Friday nights and is missed by the kids at bedtime. At first I attempted to get them all done at 8 as they usually do every night but they refused. Rather than fight them we came up with activities for us to do together to make the nights special. Louis and Leah LOVE tea and Alice in Wonderland so we've taken to having tea parties when we can. Tonight they asked for finger sandwiches and treats like they would have at their favorite tea spot Alice's Tea Cup. I was less ambitious and went with easy finger sandwiches and treats I didn't need to bake.

It has become a bit of a montly tradition for us and one I have come to enjoy sharing with the kids. Leah especially loves trying new teas and it gives us a moment to talk and catch up from the busy week.

Egg Salad, turkey and cheese, grapes, madarin slices, robin egg whoppers, Raspberry shortcake thumbprint cookies, dulce de leche cookies and red velvet whoopie pie cookies
