BUT YOU KNOW ME...I L!O!V!E! to cook, so I got all excited and planned and served a "High Tea" at our house! Here are some pictures of when the pastor and his wife and their 2 teenagers and Aunt Jolie (Uncle Charlie was at work) came to our house for TEA this past Monday.
~Since I don't have all the "FANCYS" to have a Victorian style tea party....I decided to use my fun snowmen cloth napkins that I got on a HUGE after Christmas sale at Hobby Lobby and sort of had a snowman theme.~
~Our table~
~We made our sour cream scones into "snowmen" and served 2 kinds of jelly, and Kimberly made up these yummy Choc. Crinkle cookies.~
~Our centerpiece.~
~Our table with the tea cups added. =)~
~Besides the snowmen scones and choc. cookies above, we made yummy cream puffs...
~And we also served my homemade winter squash soup topped with toasted pecans, sandwiches, fresh cherries, hot green tea fixed like the Chinese like to drink it, and they brought some good Argentine empanadas (like a meat-filled baked pie). The empanadas are setting right in front of Kimberly.
The girls' table. Kimberly, Connie, and Sarah.~
~The boys' table. (I ran out of time to make their table fancy.) ={~
~Our table. L to R: Heather, Pammy, Pastor Aaron, Phillip, Mary, "Aunt" Jolie, and Solomon.~
We had a very nice visit together! They seemed to enjoy their time and we surely did.
I quickly cleaned up and tried to get to bed...for the next day we had a double birthday party to get ready for. =)
(Which we had already planned and invited guests to...before we knew about our TEA PARTY! =)
Pics of our birthday party coming soon.

Wow! That makes me want to do a tea party! Everything turned out so beautiful!
What a very pretty table!!! You had me in a whirlwind-- even thousands of miles away!! :-) Looked like a great time!!! :-)
I'm so glad it is bed time; you make me tired with all your hard "quick" work. :-)
Dearest Heather,
Very fun tea party! And the cups are the way I like them, very simple and beautiful! You can now use them with any color napkins & table center piece! Homeschooling is home-ec class on those days when you have company!!! It's so nice to have girls to teach how to cook, Jubilee loves cooking!!! I'm getting sleepy so best let you go:( Love & Prayers, Hannah Klunder
You guys had enough food there to feed the five thousand! Well, maybe not that many but you certainly had enough food!
One surprising thing about your ministry in Buenos Aires is the nationality of the people that Jesus has chosen for you to minister to. And, a nice thing is that hospitality is welcomed everywhere. Bless your dear hearts for working so hard to be hospitable for Jesus and his kingdom. Love, Mom D
