Anna had a tea party birthday party this year. The party was a great success and Anna has been throwing impromptu tea parties for anyone she can find ever since. Sometimes her tactics are a little aggressive, especially for a tea party. She likes everything to be done just so and the party is not over until Anna says it's over. A few weeks ago I attended one of these parties and Anna told me I couldn't leave or she would make her "angry face." Eventually she let me leave.
So, while my dad and brother were in town, and sitting at the same table one afternoon, Anna saw a target of opportunity and "invited" them to be a part of her tea party. They were good sports about it. Here's Anna enjoying some of her orange juice/pretend tea.
Grant and Matthew never want to be left out of a big boy event...and since Grandpa and John were there, they thought they should be a part of it too. Grant really wanted some tea of his own, but I dumped it out when he wasn't looking. Too scary! He insisted on having his cup on the little green plate with a spoon in it, just like Anna's. :)
Anna served some Halloween cookies...well, she actually crumbled them into one of her tea pots and passed that around I think. Luckily there were still plenty of intact cookies to go around.
Everyone was a good sport about the spontaneous tea party. Eventually Anna decided the tea party was over and that her tea party hostages were free to go (she didn't even have to use her angry face!)...but not before they all did some kind of cheer. Here she is having everyone put their hands in for the cheer. That Anna throws the best tea parties!

That was nice of John and Grandpa to be such good sports. The tea party that never ends, sounds like an old Twilight Zone episode :)
