When the cookie backing concluded, we had a tea party. :)

Robin let people select cups from Mom's collection.

This uber-cool snowflake was our festive decoration. Robin made it and I'd love to learn how to do so because it's pretty darn cool looking.

Teacups.

The tea cup I used.
On a completely side note, sometimes friends ask if they need to get a bigger, fancier camera for stuff. Often, my answer is NO. I used my little point and shoot for all of these photos. While not award-winning, they're perfectly fine. But you HAVE to know how to work your camera. For example, on this one, you can see the window in the background. I knew if I used the camera on automatic, the teacup would be dark. So I forced the flash to go off, making the teacup light enough to see.

The insides even had decorative flourishes on them ....

A few snack-a-roos.

Robin and I brought tea to combine with Mom's, so there were plenty of options!

Yeah, do some work, Robin!!!!

Another pretty teacup.

And an up-close photo.
Another photo aside, I used my point and shoot for this, folks! There's a function called "macro" ... so if you want to take a photo up really close, consider that option. Because I hate seeing out of focus photos of things like engagement rings and the like. ;)

Festive headgear was, of course, encouraged.

Cheers!

Another macro photo. :)

Susie showing Kristine good party manners. ;)

And Robin making the table not wiggle. Every once in awhile, the glass table is good for an amusing photo.
