Tea Party

We celebrated Alexis' birthday last Saturday (26th). She likes to have her parties at her Granny's in her back yard. Last year she had a "Build your own Sundae" party, which was alot of fun. So, this year she wanted to have all her girlfriends over for a tea party. It was a beautiful day, thank you Lord! The girls wore their pretty dresses and then we decorated "floppy hats" with flowers, tulle and feathers. I made the little paper purses and put candy necklaces, ring pops, and some other little girly things in them. The highlight of the party was when the only boy, Harrison Wright, showed up (goes to school and church with Lexi) to seat the girls and serve them their tea. When he walked out the back door all the girls yelled "Harrison" and clobbered him with hugs (poor guy)! He is the sweetest and funniest kid, we just love him. Such a gentleman, as well. He pulled their chairs out for them, poured their tea in their tea cups, and passed around some peanuts. It was great! The girls actually loved the tea (or should I say sugar with a splash of tea). No, they really liked it and wanted seconds. They also ate strawberries and cupcakes. I can't believe I didn't get a pic of the cupcakes. A very talented friend of mine makes the most beautiful and delicous cupcakes. They were chocolate with chocolate icing and pink flowers on top. It was a great party. What a memory.
