Celebration!

 
In celebration of my new grandson and having his other grandparents here to visit him,
it was decided we would have the first tea party with grandson in attendance.
Though he slept through most of tea time, it certainly was a celebration of his life.
Circled around the table were his family of grandparents, uncle, mama, and papa.
It was a special time of shared stories between sips of tea and goodies.
There was sandwiches of salmon cream cheese, egg salad, and cucumber,
then sausage rolls and scones.  The last jar of Marmalady's Orange Marmalade
was served, as you know it was a celebration here.
For those with a sweet tooth there was English Madeleine's and Lemon Bars too.
Tea was served and only the best would do.
Yunnan Gold went well with the savories
and Alishan Oolong was just right for the sweets.

Now this is how I love to celebrate this new life.
Do you celebrate with tea?
How do you like to celebrate?

What a wonderful tea party celebration in honor of your grandson! EVERYTHING looks FABULOUS! I often celebrate special occasions with tea. It gives me an opportunity to use my pretty teawares as well as prepare foods for people who are special to me.

How beautiful!! I am looking forward to those days!! I don't know why, but it seemed sad about the last jar of Marmalady's jam...I guess everything has a season, doesn't it?

We love to celebrate with food - and with tea! I am hoping I get my act together and prepare special 'early' Thanksgiving feast for Chase as he will be on tour this year and not home to celebrate with us...

Thanks for sharing! What did you think of the English Madeleine's where they hard??

Baby welcoming tea party...Oh, I love that! And it's only fitting you had this, Marilyn. What a lovely celebration. I almost feel like we were there too. :o) So many good treats piled on that table...yum! In my family here in Norway, I'm the only tea drinker, so coffee and tea both feature on party menus--so everyone's happy. But hot drinks are essential to celebrations, aren't they? Happy Days with your new grandbaby, my friend ((LOVE & HUGS))
