Afternoon Tea

My little girl just had a birthday.  She said goodbye to 7 and embraced 8 with arms eagerly stretched wide.  It almost felt like giving her that new number was giving her a new identity.  And she was so proud.  While she is happily embracing every step towards tomorrow, I am trying to soak up the minutes of today, knowing that they won't last long.

For her birthday we took her and a few friends to The Huckleberry for an "Afternoon Tea" put on in her honor.

Aidan was convinced to temporarily set aside his uniform of comfy shorts and a t-shirt for the promise of lemon curd and devonshire cream.

Real sugar cubes!

On second thought, I'm not sure the sugar cubes were such a great idea...

At least she's not quite grown up yet.

    So precious!! Your children are gorgeous and the tea looks like so much fun. I love how in the first picture she's sitting pretty with her pearls and by the end she's hamming it up with her friends. Love that age!

    Such fun! Enjoy every moment! My 8 year old (8 1/2 now...today is her half-birthday) is growing up so fast. Hitting the tween thing (which I always thought was stupid and made up).

    Love your photos and happy birthday to Chloe!
