Jess Brings Brother to Tea

I took Jessica for her annual birthday tea at our local tea parlor (ANZAC Tea Parlor). This time she insisted on taking her five-year old brother Andrew. I wasn't too sure about this, because they can get a little hyper when they are together. Andrew has never been before and I could tell he desperately wanted to come. So I said "Yes", with a back-up plan in mind. They did really good! Surprisingly good. He didn't break anything and he listened to instructions.

The only thing annoying was that he wouldn't stop burping! Yep, that's what he's doing in this picture. Burping! At least his hand is over his mouth. Bev made us these individual Pavlov cakes. They are a delicious meringue with Devonshire cream spread on them, topped with fresh fruit. They kids went crazy over them! We can't wait to learn how to make them.

OK, does that not say it all? We did have a lot of fun!

Jess wouldn't miss trying on Bev's hats, and at the end even got Andrew to join in. It was pretty funny!
