Our first meeting was a huge success and it was fabulous to see all our Buds again! Our group this year will consist of about 24 girls from the age of five to ten. And although we lost some of our oldest girls from last year, we have gained some new faces and can't wait to get started with our year...
Many moms and dads were on hand at this first meeting to enjoy High Tea in honor of the feast day: The Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin.
Thanks again to my favorite blogger, Jessica, we had a fantastic spread with all the foods representing one of the names that we so affectionately give to our Mother.
Cheese Tower
"Tower of Ivory"

Goldfish Crackers
"House of Gold"
Fruits and Veggies
"Health of the Sick"
Strawberries with a Crown of Cream
"Queen of Martyrs"
Centerpiece
Roses with Soft Candles and a Mirror
"Mystical Rose"
"Mirror of Justice"
"Quiet Light"
Star Shaped Sandwiches
"Morning Star"
Angel Food Cake
"Queen of Angels"
Dove Chocolates

Blue Hawaiian Punch (or rather, the pitcher)
"Vessel of Honor"
To make things a bit more fun, the girls and invited guests had to guess the name of Mary that each food represented. Everyone was quite insightful!
And then...we ate!
As with all our "teas" of the past, the food was gone in no time and the girls went away full, happy and ready for a fun year!
Keep planting seeds...
