The Tea Party

22 Jan

This morning I noticed that my twin daughters were busily cleaning up and organising their room.  I heard furniture being moved, saw dishes being stolen from the kitchen and noticed their little hands rummaging through our party decoration box.  This is what I found when I finally went upstairs to see what all the commotion was about.Apparently they had decided to have a tea party for their two friends who live next door.

They decided that Pumpkin Spice cake was to be served  (and baked together with their invites). The guests arrived, baked, played then ate.  And were all very happy.  A perfect Sunday afternoon.

    I think you should leave the decorations up all the time. It is so lovely.

      I know…and they did leave up some of the decorations. It’s a room where you just feel so happy and sunny when you enter. There’s so much colour and personality.

      They actually insisted on the Pumpkin Spice Cake. They love it. And their little friends did too. It was so great to see the 4 little girls reading the recipe together (in English which is all of their 2nd language) and dividing the tasks. And the look on their faces when the cake was ready to eat. Such pride!
