Mother's Day Tea


In 1999, Stephanie, Amy and Tracy took their mothers too tea for Mother's Day. We had such a good time, that we have carried on the tradition for many years. This year was our 10th tea. Several years ago we went to a tea flower shop in Glendora, that had a little tea room in the back. They had a tea journal on the shelf that we bought and wrote in that year which has become part of the tradition. It is such a blessing to go back and see who was at each tea, and all the wonderful things everyone has to say each year.

Stephanie and Ellie (Tracy's sister-in-law and niece). Ellie finished sewing this purse just moments before we left for the tea. She told her mommy where she wanted the Eiffel Tower and the clouds on the handle. Sh behaved like such a little lady.


What's this you ask? I love how they are so creative. This is a little piece of watermelon cut out to look like a tea pot.

Very nice! We have a mother's day tea tradition, too. Usually it is in my mom's back yard. Everyone wears a hat, and sometimes we bring tea pots, tea cups, etc. It is often attended by as many as 20 people- all family members.
