So, my incredibly talented and creative sister-in-law, Ashley, put together this amazing tea party at Papa's Cabin for all our little "princesses". It all began with a darling invitation we received in the mail from Ellie, inviting the girls to a Tea Party. Brooklyn was thrilled to get this fun piece of mail that was for her, and fell to the floor with excitement shouting, "Mom, I am going and I cannot wait!" (accompanied with shrills of laughter, is shrills a word?)
When the time for the party arrived, Ashley starts pulling out all her decorations and food to prepare for the party and I could not hold in my excitement. I couldn't believe all the adorable little details. The personalized placemats, the ribbons tied to the chairs, the mini pastries and desserts, the costumes, and to top it all off, she had made flower garland "crowns" for each of the girls. I could not stop smiling as we all helped her get things ready. And, I couldn't help feeling a little jealous. I would have loved to have been one of them, all dressed up having a little tea party with mini treats and flower crowns. Okay, so maybe I was a little too excited about the whole event, but it was wonderful.
The girls paraded into the cabin and found their places at the table. We all watched in amazement as they were all somehow transformed into little ladies, using their best manners as they passed their "tea" and desserts, giggling with excitement at this special party just for them. Needless to say, it was a major hit and the girls had a wonderful time. We hope that it becomes a family tradition! Thank you so much Ashley for all you did to make it so special and for creating a memory we will cherish forever! (and Grandma Connie and everyone else that helped!)
