I love it when we buy bags of sweet navel oranges for only a few dollars. One afternoon during the holidays, I decided to simply serve oranges and lemon cordial for afternoon tea and the boys just loved it. There’s something about getting your fingers all sticky and seeing juice squirting everywhere that makes eating oranges really fun for kids.
Can you spy a chubby little hand sneaking into the shot top right? That’s our Jamie. I just adore his chubby fingers. They are a bit of a recurring theme in our holiday photos. And of course, no family afternoon is complete without some chasing after the wind…
Thank you to everyone for your kind and heartfelt words in response to my last post. Spring is indeed a bittersweet season for me. There are tears, because there is love.
Never-ending love.

I love this afternoon tea idea : )
I have always thought that people that serve afternoon tea are the coolest kinds of people! You confirmed it.
LOL, thanks Becky for your sweet comment and for sharing on FB!

You must be wonder-momma to actually have children that enjoy eating fruit – I know my sister and I hated it when we were little!
The boys really quite love their fruit, which is very cool. Makes for an easy snack too!

They’re leftovers from Jamie’s birthday earlier this year. I love them too!

Thanks Mon – I got them for Jamie’s birthday this year and the boys love having a drink from them every now and then. A small treat.

Afternoon tea should be compulsory I reckon. Navel oranges are the best! And we have a tree full of them! Such a blessing! *s*
Jealous! How awesome, Soph!

Beautiful, beautiful photos!
Isn’t it great how yummy navel oranges are at the moment? We’ve been buying them by the truckload! :) xxx
Aw I love the lemon cordial in the little glass bottles with the stripy straws! I have to say getting my fingers sticky when eating oranges is my least favourite part, though, haha.
Such great photos… they really capture the moment so well! I just love chubby sneaky little fingers in photos… they are the best :)
Oh, I know, I could just kiss those fingers all day long!
