"A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards"
~A.A. Milne
It is hard to believe that November is here, the leaves and temperatures are falling, the Christmas ads are upon us, and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is beginning. Addison and I had plans today to attend our first holiday event of the season, the Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party, with her good friend S. Unfortunately, S had to cancel at the last minute due to an illness in the family, so Elise and my mom joined us instead. Elise was the oldest child in the room by at least 5-6 years, but she enjoyed it regardless. Addie loved it all. She was awed by the ballerinas, gobbled up brownies and cookies, and took it all in with the wonder that only a three year old can have. Last time we attended this event was when Nina was three. I think that must be perfect tea party age, or... perhaps 40 is the perfect tea party age since I get the privilege of viewing it through the eyes of my three year old. It doesn't get much better than that.
