When Mia woke up from her nap, we baked cupcakes. I've been wanting to do this for a while, ever since my good friend Debs started their Cupcake Sunday tradition, I knew Mia would love this too!
After the cupcakes were baked, iced and decorated, I decided we need to make an occasion of enjoying them - so took lil table and chairs out into the garden, made some tea for myself and Mia and poured it into her miniature tea set - Mia absolutely loved it! She also loved the fact that Nala had a tea party with us - all too keen for any crumbs of cupcake that might fall in her path! ;-)
This was the first time we have a proper "tea party" - I look forward to doing this a lot more often!

I so want to do with this Liam, but my "anal-ness?" about having a clean kitchen prevents me from attempting any baking tasks with him.
ReplyDeleteAw Helen, do you know what, the fun the kiddies have at doing this TOTALLY makes up for the 5 minutes you have to spend wiping down the surfaces! I'm also really quite OCD with the kitchen having to be tidy - so I know what u mean... But then maybe make a game out of cleaning up afterwards, or while the cupcakes are in the oven! Do it, do it! ;-)

Awww this is too sweet for words, Jess! Love the tea party you had with Mia... so so sweet! I want to have tea with you guys too!!! So save me a cupcake for Saturday ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteHehe Debs, I don't think the cupcakes are gonna last til then! Mia loves them, but she licks the icing off and then feeds the rest to Nala! ;-)
