I was given camera as a gift from my mom and dad (you can read the full story here) which I was ecstatic about as I love taking photographs and want to be a a photographer when I am older!
The day before my birthday, the 2nd of January, a lovely friend of ours, Aunty Sam, took me shopping for a dress to wear to my birthday tea. We met outside Woolworths at Blue Route Mall at exactly 9:30am! We walked into the store, and I saw a beautiful dress, tried it on, and amazingly, it fitted! Usually, shopping takes hours. We cannot find the right sizes, the dress has the wrong cut, and is not always my style. I couldn't believe how quickly we found the right dress! I felt like Cinderella being dressed by the Fairy Godmother for the ball.....thank you, Aunty Sam!!!
Sunday afternoon, I got dressed and ready to go to the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town, for my birthday 'High Tea'. We invited my Gran, Aunt and my dear friend Heidi-Mari and her mom to join us! Nancy and Beth came too! My dad took Gabrielle and Heidi-Mari's dad took her 5 brothers and 1 sister to the Scrath Patch at the Waterfront.
We had a lovely time at the Mount Nelson! Everything was so smart! When you walked into the ladies restroom, you felt like you had just stepped back in time and you were entering the royal cloakroom! It was totally a girls' dream bathroom with huge mirrors! Everything in that bathroom was beautiful!
Nancy brushing her hair! Look at the big mirror!
Waiting to go to tea!
We sat in the lounge part of the Mount Nelson and we ordered tea. At the Mount Nelson, you can order just about any tea on earth! Berry tea, Vanilla tea, orange and spice tea to name but a few!
Once we had settled down in our chairs and said hello to everyone, we decided to go get some munchies! They had all sorts of cakes, eats and scones! Fudge, fruit and more! Quiches, mini hamburgers and fruit cake slices! Oooooh, it was lovely! Everything was so lovely! We felt like absolute ladies!
We could go back for more eats whenever we liked! Beth thought she was in Heaven! She was allowed any sweet stuff she wanted! Wow! What a treat for a five-year-old! At the end she was full - more than full in fact! She had stomach cramps the next day, not suprisingly though, she ate more than me!
Hmmmm...this is soooooo good!

We will always remember 'High Tea' at the Mount Nelson Hotel!
Hope you had a great weekend!
