Holiday Tea Party 2013

December 14, 2013

To celebrate the holiday season among friends

To celebrate Christmas and Hanukah, I host an annual holiday tea party with a few of my very best friends.  There will be three of us this time (two cancelled).  We can exchange gifts and be sisters for one afternoon.  We get to practice our etiquette and afternoon tea manners at Lisa’s Tea Treasures in Los Altos.

Exciting!

We unanimously ordered the Christmas Special which consisted of English breakfast tea, salmon mousse sandwiches, chicken salad and cranberry sandwiches, apple and brie tart, cinnamon scone with clotted creme and preserves, and broccoli cheddar soup.  The broccoli cheddar soup was especially yummy!

And Maya looks like she’d just got off a private jet from New York City!  She’s so cool.  Kate really hit it off with Maya and we were all super happy to be together!
