Alison's birthday was on 8 February. She turned 25 and was surprised by an afternoon tea party at her school. The party took place in the back of Hilary's car where hats were provided as well as tea, however this tea party had no political agenda. It was a lot of fun and the spread was delicious! Hand sandwiches (salmon, cucumber, egg, and pimento cheese), tarts, teas, and strawberry cheesecake. It was a bit windy outside so Alison and I crammed in the back and enjoyed the festivities with sleeping legs.

Tea in the car
Trying to look British but instead looking like a turtle
Pouring the tea
Delightful!
Delectable!
Happy Birthday to Alison and thanks to Chris for the hats and china, Debby for the food, Hilary for being the mastermind, providing the car, and the yummy sandwiches! And thanks to Alison for being born and loving British tradition!

Where is the Queen's ugly hatshop? I didn't know they had one in TX. Lovely. (For those that are offended my my calling the hats ugly...it is an inside joke thing. Not that the hats are per se, ugly).
Chris Brown had them, they are family heirlooms and the one she is wearing and the one Alison is wearing are from 1920's paris. They were really cool! As for the others... We got them at the queens ugly hat shop in uptown Kingwood (aka borrowed from other neighbors.)
