Ta-Da: A Mother's Day Tea!


This year we were so excited to create an elegant Mother's Day Tea for Clista, my mother-in-law. 


Together, the daugthers and daughters-in-law fussed in the kitchen to our hearts content, then donned our pearls, and arrayed the table with the fruits of our labors!

{Note how talented my sister-in-law Elizabeth is. 
She made that incredible floral print dress!}




The Menu

Petite Turkey Crossaint Sandwiches
Sun-dried Tomato & Feta Puff Pastry Crisps
Classic Scones
Chocolate Orange Squares
Chocolate Truffles
Fresh Fruit
Parmesean Twists
Crackers & Fresh Herb Cheese
Herbal Teas


She arrived under the pretenses of helping Samuel with a Mother's Day Gift for me, and was delightfully surprised!

We had such a great time, and it really was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this great woman who has helped to influence us all for good.

We love you!

{Note:  Jessica, my sister-in-law wasn't able to attend but we sure missed her!}
