Tea and training wheels {Sunday Snapshot}

Since we forgot to give Kate her present at her party, we decided to give it to her the next morning.  Kate has never had a new bike.  We are big believers in reusing, reducing and recycling.  So, she has used the boys trikes and bikes (and she has not minded one single bit).  Now that is was time to learn to ride without training wheels, we finally decided it was time for her own girly bike.

Ironically, Kate never noticed or cared that we did not give her a gift at her party.  She was completely surprised with her bike.

Right away, Dave took off the training wheels, took Kate to a field and taught her to ride sans training wheels. He said she was a quick study and had it down in no time.  They called us and we went to see her newly acquired skill!

Later that day, I took my Mom and Kate to afternoon tea at a boutique hotel here in town.  The boys were busy having a nerf war with friends;)

Kate adores her Mimi and has not stopped talking about her since she left.








Kate was so cute!!  She immediately informed our waitress that she would like the "ginger tea, please."  Unfortunately, they did not have ginger tea.  None of the other varieties sounded appealing so they made her a special batch of hot chocolate.

Kate was not a big fan of the tea sandwiches but she LOVED the scones and sweets!!!

This tea was very nice but it dragged on and on (2 and 1/2 hours!) which is a bit long for a 4 (soon to be 5 year old).  I have to say though Kate was impeccably behaved the whole time.  She even asked me to tell our "fancy" waitress that she was beautiful.  She had a lovely accent and was very poised and Kate appreciated that.  I know that we will never forget this special tea with 3 generations of us ladies:)
