High Tea for Mom

A week before Mom’s birthday we celebrated already since we knew Mom was leaving.  We wanted to give her a dose of her own medicine!!  She always takes care of all of us and takes care of all the celebrations for the family,  so this time, we wanted to prepare something for her.

We thought of treating her to high tea in flower theme which she likes.   Each of us took care of something for the celebration

Thank you to Fr. Julian or celebrating the Holy mass for Mom’s birthday.  He is a part of the family so we were happy he could celebrate with us

 Pam was our stylist and she gave the guidelines for the attire which was stripes for the guys ( though some came in plaid hmmm… 🙂  ) and floral for the girls…with a hat to go with the high tea event 🙂

Rustan’s Flower shop headed by my sister Maricar in collaboration with Tea with Madeleine set up the venue of our High Tea celebration

I was in charge of the food and contacted different caterers and we all voted for Farah to do it.  We all thought she was the perfect choice and though this was her first time to actually have a high tea event, the food was really delicious and perfect for the event.  Thank you Farah!!!

Margs, Krie and Pam – the sisters in law – were in charge of the program and they did such a good job!  Maricar and I are lucky we have amazing sisters in law to help us 🙂  I made a video ( unedited ) putting together some highlights of the program.  I felt that photos cannot replace many things that a video can capture.  Reactions, emotions, and just witnessing what really happened.  So I have it both in video and in photos
