A Mad Tea-Party!

"Have some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take LESS," said the Hatter. "It's very easy to take MORE than nothing."

Here's my Alice pouring tea for a cat, two dogs, and a tiger. She is making sure they all get more than nothing.

I loved her imagination in using a shoe box as a little table where all her animals guests could sit and have tea. Grace is as jolly a host as the Mad Hatter and is also, at times, as weirdly wise.

If you don't care for tea, you can at least make polite conversation.

Is that dialogue from the book? I've never read it, guess I must! Very clever girl indeed. I just love the imaginations I see in children of all ages!! Yours are equally cute and clever.

Mckenna has seen these pictures and now can't stop talking about having a tea party with Grace. When I saw these pictures it brought back the memory of you Jaime and I having a lemonade party in the closet at the ranch house. Tea parties are the best and make for great memories!
