Little Girls Tea

I got to go to another tea party today!!!!

 

 

I've decided I really like tea and tea parties!

 

The little girls did too!

So....I'm thinking I may include tea in my New Year's Resolution.....we shall see!

 

This tea was so special because each of the kids brought an unwrapped gift to be donated to the Durham Rescue Mission.

 

 

They wrapped the gifts at the party and made labels!

Before wrapping the gifts Mrs. Davis talked about the poor and how Jesus treated the poor and how we are to treat the poor.

Such great truth for these girls and their Mama!

 

Then Christi led the girls in prayer and gave them an opportunity to pray.  She told the girls they could pray for the person that would receive their gift anytime they thought about them.

She said when they saw their gifts under the tree to use it as a reminder to pray for the one that received their gift.

What should they pray?

That they would hear and receive the gospel along with this gift!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

 

 

Then of course the girls ate!

 

 There was Fudge

There were Cucumber Sandwiches....Lydia ate 4!

 

 

 

Scones and Oranges

 

 

So sweet!

Then of course there was tea!

 

Three Choices: Nutcracker Suite, Gingerbread, and Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride.

Most of the girls picked the Sugar Cookie

It was so good!

 

After tea they played a fun M&M game!

 

 

Winner takes the M&M's

What fun!

 

 

They ended the morning by making a Christmas Card.

 

 

My only regret is that Sophie missed out.

She had a basketball game.

She would have loved it!

Her friends asked about her though and that made her day!

 

 

Thanks for inviting us Daphne we had a great time!

 

 

Today's Christmas Tea felt like it mattered.
