Moments before the tea party was scheduled to begin, I zipped back to our bedroom to try to get Miss Baby down for a nap - moments later Mr. A bursts in hollering something about something...then I hear voices outside the bedroom as apparently some of our guests had arrived...I sighed thinking there was no way Miss Baby was going to nap w/all the commotion, but laid her down anyway in her pack 'n play and hoped for the best.
The stage was set:
Beading stations were set up and ready to go:
The tea table was prepared - place cards in place - tea cups ready and waiting....
Guest of honor ready to welcome her friends - food at the ready for tea time...
The boys were occupied...
Let the party BEGIN!
All of the guests arrived in their tea party finery and the beading began! All the girls set out to make their bracelets because, well, you know you have to look fancy for a tea party! Look closely in some of the following pics to see some of their creations - my one regret was not getting a picture of all the girls' bracelets - oy!
Mama.....quit taking pictures please and tie my bracelet for me....oh mamaaaaaaaaa.....
In progress....at some points we had PLEN-TY of beads lying around and I wondered how clickety clackety the vacuum would sound later....but amazingly there were hardly any beads on the carpet when all was said and done - great job ladies!
Tea time!!
Teapot cake...can you guess what flavor the icing was?
Birthday girl blowing out the candles....
Game time - "pin" the teacup on the saucer....remember, look for bracelets!
Look at those adorable nails, ring and bracelet - she was ready for the party!
All the young ladies....a special prize to anyone who can match all the sister pairs - there were 2 from each of 5 families at the party (no fair any of y'all who came to the party giving an answer!)
It was a VERY crafty birthday - perfect for Miss E - she was so excited about everything and hasn't stopped crafting since! Thank you again to all her sweet friends (and their moms and dads!) We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends for our girls (and boys!).
Happy 9th Birthday Miss E - you are a wonderful blessing to us all!

This was MY kind of party – tea, beading, games, friends AND cake! Happy Birthday to Miss E. What was the center piece on the table? Love the cake, you are good!

The centerpiece is a giant tea cup and saucer (it's a planter complete w/drain hole) with a piece of florist foam inside covered with shredded colored paper (it came ina package in the stationery section at Target...had a fancy name....but it's basically shredded paper!) and then skewers with marshmallows covered in colored sugar....sanding sugar...it has a fancy name too!
I finally got to see all of the pictures, and the party looks great! All of your hard work paid off. Miss E surely was pleased. A fun party for the girls to attend. Well done!
