Tea Party
















Today is Little Mama's 6th birthday party. She wanted a tea party with a few of her friends. I wanted it special but not over the top and I think we found the perfect mix! I bought clay pots and a bunch of stickers and ribbon and paint markers and each of the girls got to decorate a flower pot and put thier name on it. Then daddy bought some potting soil and pansies and the girls got to plant flowers. I thought it was a great gift to send home with the girls. We decorated the dining room table with table clothes and pretty pink plates and pretty polka dotted napkins that Little Mama picked out all on her own. The table had silk flower petals and little candy hearts sprinkled over the top. We filled tea pots with pink lemonade and each girl had a real tea cup. The tea cups were an extra special treat. They were all beautiful cups that came from my mom and a very good friend of ours. It made the tea party perfect. For lunch we had tea sandwiches, fruit kabobs and pretzels. When asked what kind of cake Little Mama wanted, she asked for red velvet. A family favorite! All and all, a good time had by everyone . . .

Was little Mama born on Valentine's day?
I'm going to have to remember this idea for a future party for my ONE girl :)

Red Velvet Cake?! YUM!! Little Mama has great taste! And the tea party looks like soooo much fun! I recognized some of those tea cups! What a great idea with the flower pot, decorating and personalizing then planting pansies. Woman, you are a genius!

Lots of hugs for the birthday girl!
