Tea and Cake
Her heart is full. Ready to serve.
She’s almost always willing to do what needs to be done.
She enjoys helping with recipes. And she often volunteers to clear the table or sweep the floor.
Her kindness overflows. She teaches me a lot. Everyday.
This was one of her Christmas gifts. A lovely little book she could use to continue learning about service, as well as hospitality and some homemaking skills. She is drawn to the domestic arts anyway, so why not continue to encourage her in something she loves.

She made invitations and passed them out to everyone.
We followed the winter menu, and she helped make everything. (She even let her younger twin brother and sister assist on a couple recipes. But not all of them. This was her tea party, after all!)
She set the table. She loves setting the table, and does so with extra love. This time, with a candy cane by each place setting. So sweet! We used our Christmas dishes, too. How festive!

And of course she can’t wait to plan our next tea. And everyday for about two weeks she’s been asking about organizing her bedroom. (This book is good! =)
Thanks to Alice for writing it. It’s just lovely!

That book has been in our school books since September and never been opened. Thank you for the reminder (to do our elective classes, too!).
I want that book so badly. I didn't think of getting it for Meg for Christmas. But wait—-she has a birthday in 11 days!
I have a second daughter with a generous serving heart, too … and her birthday is in March! Thanks, Sarah and Sara!
this is so sweet.
This has been one of Violet's favorite books for several years now, she still makes many of the recipes and plans teas for us as well from it! It's a gem and so is your little girl, what a joy!
Oh how Sweet!!! A girl after my own heart. She is such a delight! It is so hard to believe she was just a baby when we first met! What a beautiful lady she has become.
We miss you all. Hopefully someday soon we will be back to meet that beautiful boy!
Love,
Anna
What a lovely tea, served with such a sweet smile too!
So sweet!
Aw!! So cute! I've been wanting that book…but I can't justify me buying it because I don't have any girls, but I really just want it for me. =) Isn't that silly? Haha.
My boys DO love a good tea party…manly tea party. =)
Lovely! 🙂
This is right up my oldest daughter's alley. Thanks for the inspiration. I just love this. 🙂
