Princesses and Tea Parties

 With the pending arrival of the newest Barbour (in 11 days), I hated to skimp on Anna Fair's birthday and opted to have it a tad early and pray for cooler weather.  It wasn't very cool, but the kids still had a great time at our Princess Tea Party.  Anna Fair was so excited to have a party, but the excitement and seeing so many friends made her so shy and she refused to wear her princess dress.

We decorated placemats to eat our lunch on cupcakes from.  The little girls were loving all the princessey stickers.

After lunch, we decorated our cupcakes with our choice of icing color, sprinkles, M&Ms, gummies, and marshmallows   This was such a hit, every child was very intent on getting their cupcake filled as high as possible with yummy goodness.

Couldn't get her to wear her princess dress, but she had no problem putting on her new leotard from BB and Granddaddy.  Thanks for all the fabulous presents from fabulous friends.

I had planned to serve tea out of our tea sets, but the heat nixed that idea and we just let them play.  Perhaps we should have.  These two quietly drank cup after cup of tea for 30 minutes at least.

Happy early birthday, Baby Girl!
