one lump or two {afternoon tea}

my grandparents sent me an old silver tea set of theirs from grandpa's working days in the airlines.

in celebration the london olympics 

AND 

chase being 4 months old we threw ourselves a tea party.

{did you know chase is 4 months old this week?}

so proud:)

i was teaching them about not pressing their tea bags when taking them out, 

just like grandma joy taught me,

{and about how we only drink certain types of tea--non caffeinated}

sugar {one lump or two},

cream {say when},

and then brennan picked up his cup and said to himself,

"pinky up!"

very gentlemanly like.

i laughed so hard in adoration,

and asked him where he heard that.

and he said,

"tinker bell."

and then went about his tea drinking business.

such a funny kid.

max was a lady the entire time

{naturally},

until she squeezed her tea bag with her fist at the end.

so glad we're not british.

b/c surely americans can get away with those types of things.

so glad she's 2.

HAHAHA!

i forget how pretty silver is.

how does one keep it clean and polished?

i know i should know this.

but i don't...

thank you grandma and grandpa tabery,

we are honored to have it in our home.

cheers!
