Mother's Day "Tea Party"

Here is the remnants of the fancy tea party table...
Macey's first "tea party" --she was all ready in one of her cute dresses!
Treyson with Ariana and Annika.
Couscous salad --yummy! Recipe down below.


Last week I decided that I needed to have a fun "mommies lunch" and invite some fun girls to our house for some yummy food. It was convient enough to have Mother's Day soon so I called it a Mother's Day Tea Party. Now, I don't own a tea set, nor could I find one on such short notice (or lack of time) so we just had punch and apple juice for the kids. It was so fun to get together with friends and have some chat time while the kids played. I was sad that I forgot my picture taking until just at the very end so I didn't get the full table of goodies and the wonderful mothers that attended. I hope to carry this on... anybody interested?! Yummy food and good conversation? I'm in!
