After 10 years of Lego and Superhero birthday parties (all in the winter, mind you), yes I am so excited to host little girlie birthday parties in the fall (the most wonderful time of the year!) This year for E's birthday we had a little tea party for her little friends, their moms and few big sisters, her brothers and aunties...
 |
| We put on our party dress... |
We decided to host the party in the back yard. The weather held and the sunroom and yard was still presentable enough to be enjoyed before the great fall clean up begins next week.
 |
| It was a perfect day, not too hot, not too cold...and some flowers were still in bloom. |
 |
| The little girls' table |
 |
| We pulled out the heirloom teacups - this one was Great Aunt Fern's - we found out we were expecting Elaina shortly after she passed away, but they shared the same birthday month. |
 |
| The big girls table. |
We mixed a bunch of heirloom stuff with paper plates, etc for ease of setting up, cleaning up and also to not get stressed over possible breakage outside.
 |
| I converted our old TV cabinet to a "dress up" center for the girlies. It added to over all pretty decor. |
 |
| Red velvet with Cream cheese icing. |
Our menu was simple, crab salad on croissants and vegetable cream cheese roll ups. We had veggies, fruit and cheese trays and of course coffee and tea. For dessert we had a variety of mini cakes and cookies, candies of course chocolates.
 |
| The "take home treats" were personalized dress up fairy outfits. |
 |
| Bling for the littles... I figured this was nicer than sending them home with more candy. There were enough sweets to enjoy at the party, I hoped the moms appreciated not having more candy later at home. |
 |
| The girlies! So so cute! |
After lunch, the littles decorated tea party hats from the dollar store with silk flowers.

Then we released them into the dress up cupboard.

| DRESS UP TIME!!! |
After much play time, we gathered for the present opening and cake.

| Opening Presents...so thankful! |

| After all the birthday celebrating, she finally got the hang of "blowing out the candles" |

I hope you enjoyed this post, we certainly enjoyed our day, and love every day with our little princess.
