Austen Tea Party

 

 One of the privileges of my husband leading the youth at our church is that I get to help plan fun events for the girls. My friend Danielle, Lauren, and I held an Austen Tea Party for the Lifegate girls youth. We had a delicious menu of white chocolate scones with blackberry jam, chocolate chip cherry cheesecake bites, shortbread cookies, cucumber sandwiches, and a variety of specialty tea. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Yummy! We then watched the new version of "Pride and Prejudice" followed by a few games.

  

 Here is my beautiful princess posing for her very first tea party.

  

The first game that we played was the safety pin game, adapted from a baby shower I had been to. Every lady present had to address everyone by "Miss" followed by that persons last name. If they slipped up and used their first name they had to relinquish their safety pin. Whoever had the most safety pins by the end of the night won a prize. The second game we played was a Q&A game from "Pride and Prejudice." 10 questions from the movie and 2 bonus questions from the book on a wide range of things, such as having to finish quotes to Mr. Darcy's first name. Lindsay and Breanna were our winners of the night. And I must say Breanna surprised us all by answering all 12 questions correctly. Great job girlie!

It was so much fun being with all of you sweet ladies and getting to know you better over tea. I am already looking forward to next year!
