Mother-Daughter Tea

 

While spending Thanksgiving with my dear daughter and her in-laws,

we were treated to a Mother-Daughter Tea at the gorgeous

St. James Tearoom in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Being my first ever official tea,

I was entralled with all the traditions.

Even our table had our name place cards. 

I felt so special...kind of regal, you know?

What a memorable experience with my youngest daughter, Rebekah.

(Just wish my oldest daughter, Jenn, could've been with us, too.)

We were seated in The Chartwell Room while the other members

of our party were seated in The Bird and Baby Room.

This book told us all about The Chartwell Room

and the history of The St. James Tearoom.

The St. James Tearoom was founded by Mary Alice

who was known as M.A. - spelled Emmai.

Beautiful Bekah's place setting.

Yummy treats based on the November Narnia theme.

Each month has a unique theme upon which all the treats are based.

Me, Bekah, and her sweet niece-in-law Naomi.

The other guests at the tea party were

Bekah's Sister-in-Law Natalie, Mother-in-Law Jean,

Grandmother-in-Law Wanda, and Sister-in-Law Angie.

By the end of our tea (which was signaled by the dainty ringing of a bell),

even Naomi was creating vignettes to photograph.

This is her place setting - so appropriate - Gentility.

And one last group photo of the ladies after our

wonderful Mother-Daughter Tea hosted by

Bekah's sister-in-law, Angie.
