Tea with Nana

The last weekend before school started we were able to have a wonderful lunch date with Nana to go out to tea. We went to one of my favorite places, the St. James Tea Room here in ABQ. (Nana had actually given a tea date to Bekah as a Christmas gift...it just took a little while for us to get around to it.)

Bekah was SO excited! She loves tea as much as she possibly can, which means that she can stand about two flavors if they have enough sugar stirred in. And she loves the treats that tag along with the tea on fancy trays - treats like cookies and sugar cubes. She is not an adventurous eater, however, and trying new things gives her anxiety. I know this about her, but it completely slipped my mind when I suggested that we go out to tea. She made the best of it though, trying the teas and nibbling on the amazing cream scones.

Doesn't she look lovely? 

Our room was the Beatrix Potter room. The menu for our tea was themed on Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy. I thought everything was DELICIOUS. Mmm.
The best part of our tea party was Bekah interviewing Nana. She came prepared with a list of questions like "tell me about your unicycle," and "what were your friends like in school?"

It was truly a lovely afternoon. I'm grateful for a sweet daughter and a loving mother in law!
