Happy Birthday Grandma Reimann!!!

On Saturday I went to Salt Lake to celebrate my Grandma Reimann's birthday.  

When I was a little girl my Aunt Kristie took the older cousins to tea ALL the time. I have the best memories of tea parties. We used to go to a tea parlor down-town called Lady Elizabeth. The servers dressed in big gowns and served high tea. I loved the little cucumber sandwiches and fruit scones. Kristie and I have been to several tea parlors over the years. It is one of my favorite traditions. 

Kristie and I decided to host a big tea party for all the girls. It took a lot of time and planning but it was amazing and wonderful. 

We are all HUGE Jane Austin fans so we met at the theater and saw Ausinland. My grandma laughed her head off. It was so cute to listen to her. 

Then we met at Kristie's house for tea. 

Just look at this table!!! I could stare at it all day. It makes me want to live in the 1800's when they had high tea all the time. 

We set up these beautiful tables. Kristie had enough tea sets for everyone. Some of them came from Prague. One of the tea sets I remembered from when I was a little girl. 

Kristie made home made scones with clotted cream and lemon curd...I was in heaven!!!

All the lady guests starting to arrive

Kristie set up an entire room full of dress ups and hats for the little girls to put on.

What cuties. 

When grandma arrived she was so giggly and happy. It was so fun to watch her.

We sang happy birthday and let her blow out the candles. 

Then we went out to Krisie's beautiful backyard to chat, drink tea and indulge on all the yummy goodies. 

Claire ate it up!!! She loved changing into several different dress ups and having tea with the girls. 

That is one thing I want to do with Claire. High Tea. It is such a girly thing to do. I love it!!!
