Tea for Three!

Kathleen and I have been enjoying tea parties since she first received her tea set. As she's grown, our little tea rituals have become more complicated. Kathleen can now pour tea, add a little milk, and spoon in some sugar. (All imaginary ingredients, of course.) She's an attentive hostess and will frequently ask if you'd like a "yiddle more" tea. She's also more than happy to whip up a treat upon request. Scones, clotted cream, cookies -- you name it, and she'll hand it to you on a moment's notice!

Occasionally our tea parties have been attended by one of Kathleen's stuffed animals (usually her giant Olivia doll from my Aunt Sharon). Lately, however, we've been having tea parties with Madeline! Now that Madeline can sit on her own and (perhaps more importantly) can grab things, she's a happy, if slightly rambunctious, addition to our tea parties.

Would you care for some tea, Baby Madeline?

Tea for me!

Why thank you, Kathleen. I don't mind if I do!

Yay for tea parties! I want girls! Somehow I just don't see that working well with my boys. :) Your girls are great, and I really hope to get all the kids together someday.
