V's Tea Party Birthday Celebration

For quite a while V has known that she wanted a tea party for her next birthday! Her tea party finally came and she was so glad that so many of her friends could come! 

They had fun dressing up and accessorizing!

 

Then, we made tissue paper flowers.

 

When it was time for tea, Danny was a great server. He served ham bicuits, cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad croissants, fruits, and vegetables too. Who would have know that the cucumber sandwiches would be such a hit!

Look at this table full of beautiful girls!

After tea Danny  played a fun game with the girls, but I missed it because I was trying to clear the table in between lunch and dessert.  The game was walking like a "lady" and balancing a book on your head in relay race form. From what I heard, he was pretty funny about it and the girls really likes it.  So, thanks, Danny.

Next, Victoria opened presents.  Her friends were very generous and gave her so many nice things! 

Then, it was time to blow out the candles!

 

But, she had to blow them out again because I accidently put 6 instead of 7 candles on her pastel little cupcake. Does that mean she got two wishes?

 

The girls loved the eclairs, heart shaped brownie bites, and mini cupcakes. Who wouldn't, right?!

 We had extra time for an fun impromptu party game afterward. It was called birdie in a thimble. The girls sat in a circle.  Susan (Geemaw) poured a little water from a miniature teapot into an even tinier thimble. Then the girl to her right was asked to think of a kind of bird. She opened her napkin on her lap and the girls began to guess what bird it was. 

When someone guessed the right bird, the girl to her left got to pour a thimble full of water on to her nose. They thought it was hilarious. I had never heard of it before, but will keep it in my repertoire of games for the future.

Thank you to both of the grandmothers for helping! They brought lots of china and dishes and linens to borrow as well as hats and dress up things. They helped with food and games and dishes and everything else and made clean up afterward a breeze! Thank you, Mom and Susan.

Thanks girls for the great time!

Hope it was all you were hoping it would be. Love you, V!
