Above is a cute little Vine video that my daughter Katie made while we where having tea on Mother's Day.  It's called, "How to drink tea".  It's a great insight into her sense of humor.  Just click on it to start or stop.  You can follow Katie on vine:  Katie Gore
My daughter, Alyssa, arranged for a beautiful afternoon at the Montage in Beverly Hills where we all had tea as a gift to me. 
We celebrated on Saturday so the crowds wouldn't be too big, the drive wouldn't be too long and the kids could spend Mother's Day with their significant other's mother.  



The Montage Tea boasts "hand painted" china and it was very beautiful.  Alyssa, Katie and I ordered the Passionberry tea, Delaney ordered the Coconut Sunrise, Greg-Russian Caravan, HH-English Breakfast and Michael- Yunnan Black.  I like the passionberry tea plain, but Katie said it tasted like candle water until she doctored it up.  Ummm, I don't know when she has tasted candle water. 
There are various kinds of tea service you can order, most of us went with the traditional, Katie and Alyssa went with the Royal (came with Champagne) and Greg ordered the Gent's tea which comes with house scotch, sliders, pie and cake.  It actually was a hit and HH wished he would have gotten it. 
There were also sandwiches that featured salmon.  Greg said the salmon tasted better than the salmon that  he caught last year in Alaska. It was all very tasty.  You can see the menu here.  
We were sat in a living room like setting and it did make it hard to eat.  I guess their table's are not big enough for a large crowd.   


I don't know why this came out blurry.  I definitely need a new camera.  I had a lot of blurry pics and they weren't all taken by me or I would blame the operator.

After tea we went outside and took pictures by the fountain.
My three beautiful daughters.  They are so different, buy yet they are so alike.


We pestered some poor guy to take our picture as a family.  It was a great day and I love each and every one of these kids.  I'm so blessed and proud to be a part of their lives.
