tea party

Last Friday afternoon, Claire's best friend and her best friend's mama treated us to a lovely afternoon at the Tea Rose Garden in Pasadena. 

For the grownup tea, the other mama and I each chose the "Tea Rose Afternoon Tea."  You choose a tea from their tea menu (I chose English Breakfast) and a scone (I chose lemon blueberry) and three tea sandwiches (we shared: cranberry chicken, chicken almond, cucumber mint, turkey and basil, goat cheese and sun-dried tomato, and egg salad with watercress) from the food menu.  They also bring fresh fruit, little tea cakes, and a spring petal salad. It was delicious!

The children's tea included similar treats, and a choice of pb&j or raspberry cream cheese sandwiches. For the kids, they fill the individual teapots with tea, fruit punch, or pink lemonade. Clarie and her friend both chose pb&j and fruit punch. :)
