High Tea With the Girls

My girls love tea! I mean all kinds of tea. They will try it cold or hot with the exception of sweet tea. They DO NOT like sweet tea. I guess they are not "really" from the south. We visited a place called Mittie's Tea Room in Alpharetta. It was a perfect fall day for high tea! My oldest daughter invited two friends and their mom's to attend high tea with us. It was a lot of squealling, talking, leg crossing, and pinky fingers flying all over the place as they drank their tea. I was so proud to experience with my girls. I have taken them before but this time they were a little older and can appreciate it. We had lunch first which consisted of all 5 girls having grilled cheese and fruit...shocker! Me and the other girls had adult food. For our high tea we ordered scones for the little ladies and they thought they were so grown up. I don't know why but this was some sort of milestone for me and my girls and I was so glad that my awesome girlfriends were there to share it with me. We really encourage each other as we grow our girls into young ladies. I love that I have that in my life. It's very important that my girls also know that these ladies will always speak the word of God into their lives whether I am on this earth or not. I can only hope that my daughters are as blessed as I have been on this journey. I had so many things that I wanted for my girls when they were babies. At this point and going forward I can only hope that they have 3 folds of what I have in my 30's. Tea Day was indeed a blessed day to remember.
