Christmas Cup of Tea

Clockwise from bottom: Veronica, Olivia, Maya,Olivia T. (a school friend of ours), Lauren and Julia.

The Christmas Cup of Tea is (yet) another one of the holiday traditions we partake in - usually at Grandma Bep's house. This year, Tante Angie was kind enough to host the massive females-only event.

If you're not familiar with how the afternoon goes, there is plenty of food and drink (more than just tea). At some point, though, all the chit-chatting stops and Grandma Bep selects a Christmas-themed book, which is read aloud as it is passed around the room. Each year, the list of readers grows longer. This year, Julia was able to read a page.

Meantime, Dad stayed home and tried to clean up the house (sorry, no pictures are available of that BIG event.)
