Charlonian Tea Party 2008

As most of you already know, my little sister Jessica is on the Jordan High Drill Team, the Charlonians. Every year, right before school starts, the team gets together for the "Char Tea Party" This is an event that has taken place every year since the 1950's. Usually, this is a tea party for the dancers and their mothers. Luckily for Erica, Robyn and myself, they decided to open it up to sisters this year! It was held on August 13th at La Caille, an beautiful restaurant hidden by amazing gardens. This place is classy, valet parking and everything. :)

We started the day off with Dad taking pictures of all of the Charlonians and their families and then of the Charlonians together. Jessica quizzed me on all of the dancers names and grade. I am determined to know them all this year so that when they perform I will know all of them. Instead of just saying "Hey there is Jessica and um.. the other girls"

As I said before, La Caille is a very elegant very pristine place to eat. I had to have Dad remind me what forks/spoon to use first.

Our Menu

Salad; Romaine Hearts topped with a creamy dressing and shredded cheese. so yummy!

Entree; Choice of Salmon or Chicken. I chose the chicken, not a big fan of salmon. It was delicious! It came with red potatoes and brocolli, which my sister Robyn thought was absolutely divine.

Dessert; vanilla ice cream wrapped in a crepe, topped with cocoa sauce and powder.

Extra Treat! Chocolate covered strawberries made to look like tuxes. my favorite!

Following the delicious meal, we had a prize drawing where all of the dancers and their mothers were entered in. They got some pretty cool stuff. Nancy also brought cupcakes that were so delicious. They even had little edible stars on top!

I'm just so happy for Jessica because I know she is doing something that she loves. I swear every time I watch her perform it gives me chills because you can just see in her face that she loves to dance. Thanks to Nancy for allowing me to go and be apart of this experience. I'll probably never be able to go and afford La Caille, so I was so glad that I got the opportunity to try it.

Isn't she cute? I love you Jessica!

We pull of the hats pretty well I'd have to say!

Jessica, Aber and Qazia

Always have to have a funny face!
